Thanks for the timely warning.

Evidently, the alleged Casodex is not just "bad" it's counterfeit. The
other listed drugs are also suspicious.

At this writing, there is nothing on the (US) FDA website about it.
Perhaps the problem is confined to the UK.

I just received e-mail from Texas that a batch of fake NSAID's and DMARD's
for arthritits has turned up there.

And the FDA has discoverd contaminated/poisonous toothpaste in 99-cent-type
stores in the Gulf region (Florida to Texas).
