Procrit warnning

Procrit warnning

On the 12th Bunkywoo posted a warning about counterfeit Procrit.  I am on the stuff and checked the lot numbers on my drugs and was ok.  
WEELLLLL!!!!!!  Latest batch delivered yesterday had one of the bad lot numbers, so I called the pharmacy delivery warehouse that sends my drugs and they said I shouldn't worry as they had already examined the shipment and that the bad guys were using real lot numbers.  I was not too comfortable with that as the current warning (there have been problems since May) involved bacterial contamination as well as useless drugs, so they exchanged it for me.  
When I got home this evening from work I called the FDA and they directed me to www.procrit.com for information on the fakes.  
The lot numbers in the current recall are:

P007645, expiration October 2004
P004677, expiration February 2004
P004839, expiration February 2004.

There has also been counterfeit Neupogen(which I also use).  You can check their website at www.neupogen for further information.  The FDA reccommended that I check these sites with each new shipment to make sure I am kept up to date.
