"Immediate results" or immediate alerts? Demystifying the Promise of Online Counterfeit Drugs
In the drug advertisements that flood the Internet, every "immediate" promise is like a sugar-coated poison, **longing** patients. Claims to make pain go away overnight or completely reverse a health problem that has accumulated over the years in just a few days.
The advertising slogan is like a magic spell that captures people's desire to get a quick solution to the disease. When the flood of false promises satisfies the patient's sense of urgency, the truth is often obscured by the illusion of effectiveness.
The advertising strategy lies in the sense of urgency it creates. It is not only exaggerated, but also subtly stimulates the psychology of consumers - "if you don't act immediately, you will miss the best opportunity".
So-called "immediate" products often lack even basic scientific validation, let alone rigorous clinical trials. The results are not guaranteed, but the risks are extremely real. Consumers are swept away by high-profile publicity, but don't realize it could be a well-planned campaign.
While everyone wants to get a quick and effective **, we should be skeptical of promises that are too good to be true. The road to health is often long and winding, and it requires a scientific approach and the guidance of a doctor, not a "panacea" in false advertising.

Like ghosts, once discovered, they disappear on the other end of the network and continue their business under another name. Some consumers are not picky about where to buy their medicines, and will pay as long as they are cheap and readily available, whether or not they are legally certified.
Regulatory gaps in the drug market and restrictions from international treaties also provide a breeding ground for the rampant counterfeit drugs. Regulatory agencies in some countries and regions are not strong enough to cover a wide range of online markets, which provides opportunities for counterfeit drug manufacturers.
Cross-border** adds to the complexity of the problem, as laws and regulatory standards vary from country to country, adding additional barriers to tracking and prosecuting counterfeit medicines.
