If you receive fake or suspicious Ativan, treat it as both a health risk and a legal concern. Here’s what you should do immediately:
1. Stop Taking It Immediately
-
Do not consume any more of the medication.
-
Counterfeit pills may contain dangerous substances like fentanyl, incorrect dosages, or toxic fillers.
2. Keep the Packaging & Product
-
Do not throw it away — you’ll need it for investigation.
-
Save everything: blister packs, bottles, labels, and shipping materials.
3. Contact Your Pharmacy or Seller
-
If you purchased from a licensed pharmacy, call them to verify the batch number and source.
-
If it’s an online seller, document the issue but avoid further purchases.
4. Report to Authorities
-
In the U.S., report to the FDA’s MedWatch program and local law enforcement.
-
You can also report to your state’s Board of Pharmacy.
5. Inform Your Doctor
-
If you’ve taken any suspicious doses, see your doctor immediately — even if you feel fine.
-
They may order tests to check for harmful substances.
6. Learn to Avoid Future Scams
-
Only buy from licensed pharmacies with verified credentials.
-
Avoid sellers that offer prescription drugs without a prescription or at unusually low prices.
If you want, I can also give you a checklist of signs to spot fake Ativan before you buy it, so you can avoid ending up in this situation again. Would you like me to prepare that?
