ADHD drugs shortage fuels online black market

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) medications have been facing a shortage in recent years, leading to an increase in online black market sales.

Patients who rely on these medications to manage their ADHD symptoms are finding it increasingly difficult to access the drugs through legitimate channels. This scarcity has created an opportunity for illicit dealers to sell these medications online, often at exorbitant prices.

Experts warn that buying ADHD drugs from these sources is risky, as the medications may be counterfeit, expired, or improperly stored. This puts consumers at risk of harmful side effects and potentially dangerous interactions with other medications.

Health authorities are working to address the shortage of ADHD medications and crack down on the illegal online market. In the meantime, patients are advised to consult with their healthcare providers about alternative treatment options and to avoid purchasing medications from unauthorized sources.
