Bad Medicine

Documentary about the increasing problem of fake medical drugs. In Nigeria in 2003, four babies and children died after they underwent cardiac surgery in a top teaching hospital where the adrenalin drips they had been fed with contained fake drugs. But it's not just a problem for the developing world - in Britain, counterfeits have been found in high street pharmacies and a fake diazepam and Viagra factory was discovered in Wembley.
