Fake Xanax anxiety pills from China seized in Zurich

According to a BBC.com report, customs agents have seized one million fake anti-anxiety pills in transit at Zurich airport, Swiss officials say.
The four-crate shipment was on its way from China to Egypt, the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products said.
The tablets are counterfeit versions of Xanax – a drug manufactured by Pfizer to treat severe anxiety or panic disorder.
Tests showed the drugs contained no active ingredients, but would be very difficult to recognise as fakes.
