Prescription Drug Fraud

Prescription drug fraud involves illegally obtaining or distributing prescription medications, which can include forging prescriptions, stealing them, or using false identities to acquire drugs. This criminal activity can lead to serious legal consequences, including fines and imprisonment. It not only poses risks to individuals abusing such substances but also contributes to broader public health issues, such as addiction and the illegal drug trade. Laws against prescription drug fraud aim to protect both patients and healthcare systems by ensuring that medications are used safely and legally.
