Which is a legitimate way that pharmacists can help protect their patients against counterfeit medicines?

Pharmacists can reduce the risk of counterfeit medicines by buying medicines only from legitimate, trusted suppliers. Tasting medicines is unsafe and cannot reliably identify counterfeits, and refusing all prescriptions for medicines that are sometimes abused or faked would not be an appropriate safeguard. Therefore, the correct choice is “Only obtain medicines from legitimate, known suppliers.”
