Gilead alleges it uncovered a drug-counterfeiting operation in which its HIV medications were tampered with and improperly resold before reaching patients.
Gilead Sciences says counterfeit versions of its HIV medications were being sold out of two New York pharmacies.
The scheme, allegedly run out of two New York City pharmacies, identified Peter Khaim, a twice-convicted medical fraudster, as the mastermind, according to court documents unsealed this month. The company described Khaim as one of the most brazen and largest manufacturers and sellers of counterfeit Gilead medications in the country.
Gilead says in its complaint that counterfeiters used its authentic prescription bottles, but tampered with the actual medication or associated documentation."In some cases, the bottles had their contents emptied, were refilled with the wrong medication, and then were re-resealed using a different material than Gilead's authentic tamper-evident seals," the complaint said.
Despite the injunction, Khaim continued to oversee a counterfeiting operation from the two Queens pharmacies, the latest complaint says.
