In China, buying flu medication can turn deadly.
Zhang Pu, a laborer working in Zhongshan City in Guangdong Province, was feeling under the weather with a runny nose. He asked his wife to go to a local pharmacy for some over-the-counter medication to alleviate his symptoms. His wife spent a total of 15 yuan (US$2.26) for six small bags of medicine containing a variety of flu and nasal congestion-relieving tablets.
