Let me make it clear that I think pharmacies stocking fake OC 80s in case of a hold up is complete BULLSHIT. There is no way the FDA would give seized fake OC 80s (especially the ones containing 1.5mg fentanyl) to pharmacies nationwide. That would be hugely irresponsible considering they would end up hitting the streets and there are so many thousands of pharmacies in the US and only several thousand fake pills seized very few pharmacies would be able to get the fakes.
Plus, think about it. If pharmacies were holding fake OCs to give to burglars that would be a huge sensationalist news story the media would cream their pants over, however there is no evidence that it is at all true. Plus if it were then anyone attempting to rob a pharmacy would be aware of the fakes and it just wouldn't work.
It's a cool story, but it is utter BS for so many reasons.
I do not think that the pharmacies would get placebos from seizures. If they were carrying placebo pills they would receive them from the drug supplier. It is not unreasonable to believe that they could get placebos. When drug trials are conducted they produce sugar pills that look identical to the active pills so that the test subjects do not realize they are taking the placebo. This is what is happening in a BLIND trial. half of the subjects receive the active drugs and the control group receives placebos.
