Stolen drug products may enter the secure drug supply chain as a result of illicit transactions by unscrupulous individuals and pharmaceutical wholesalers operating in an unregulated sub-market where illicitly obtained drug products are bought and sold. FDA reminds healthcare professionals, pharmacies, and wholesalers that they are valuable partners in securing the drug supply chain.
