Now, Do The Pills Work?

I mentioned to my doctor that I was going to try ordering expensive medication from Canada (which subsequently sends the order to India) in order to avoid what I consider ripoff American prices. He said fine, but he had heard that sometimes they send fake pills instead, and he wanted me to let him know how all that went.

Yesterday, I received a mysterious little package from India. Now, the question is, are the pills effective, and would I even be able to tell the difference (the placebo effect)?
