They said it's to prevent both, counterfeit Viagra and Oxy and also to prevent the Oxycontin from being stolen (since it's such a highly desired, addictable drug). If someone is dumb enough to steal a C2 or above drug and keep it in the manufacturer's bottle, then they deserve to get caught. Of course a person is gonna dump the pills into a ziplock or whatever and toss the bottle.
I still don't get the counterfeit part, either. Unless someone is switching out bottles of pills, enroute, and taking the "real" Viagra or whatever and replacing it with counterfeit shit and that is the stuff that is being sent to the pharmacies, who think the pills are genuine and, hence, pass it onto the consumer. (?)
I don't understand, I have a couple of friends who are pharmacist's, maybe they'll have the inside scoop.
