EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT COUNTERFEIT MEDICINES

Medicines are unlike other products in that counterfeiting them has more serious consequences.

When counterfeit medicines are sold, contrary to other counterfeit products or drug use, it is always without the patient knowing. Patients do not choose to buy counterfeit medicines… they are victims.

The counterfeiting of medicines is no longer an amateur’s game. It is difficult to recognize these products, either by visual inspection, or through how they are distributed. Not to mention the risks involved in purchasing medicines in general over the internet, and the specific risk of buying counterfeit medicines.
