Busted: Fraudulent COVIS-19 tests and treatments

Posted by Anne Pannabecke... on April 11, 2020 - 6:00am

This story is provided by the ONU HealthWise Pharmacy.

 

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers about fraudulent coronavirus tests, vaccines and treatments.

Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent COVID-19 or medications approved to treat COVID-19, according to the FDA.

Still, fraudulent products are claiming to cure, treat or prevent COVID-19. These products have not been shown to be safe or effective, the FDA noted. In fact, these fraudulent products may actually pose significant risks to you and your family.
