Teach you to identify counterfeit drugs through drug packaging

In drug inspection work, the discovery of counterfeit and inferior drugs through drug packaging is a simple and effective method. The ability to find problems is an indispensable quality for inspecting law enforcement personnel, and it must be good at finding "questions". The so-called "suspected points" means that it is impossible to determine whether the constituent elements of pharmaceutical packaging are true or not.

"Dangduan" is relative to genuine products. The regular manufacturers' medicine packaging paper is of good quality, clear pattern, uniform color, smooth surface, fluorescent writing and bright images; the specification paper is good, the writing is clear, the typesetting is uniform, generally There is a detailed address, area code, telephone number, etc. of the manufacturer. Our common counterfeit and inferior products are usually poor quality paper, packaging, labels and instructions, rough printing, blurred writing, different coloring, improper use of words, and even typos. But there are also a large number of counterfeit drugs that are often well-printed and comparable to genuine ones. Therefore, we can only distinguish between such counterfeit drugs from a more professional perspective in order to discover “suspected points” and seize “licious ghosts”.

For example, in 2006, our bureau found a medicine labeled “Foscillin Hydrochloride Capsule” in the medicine cabinet of a pharmacy. The OTC proprietary logo was printed in the upper right corner of the outer packaging box. How can fosfomycin be an over-the-counter medicine? This doubtfulness caused the vigilance of law enforcement officers and was later verified as a fake drug. In 2002, the bureau identified a drug named “Pi Pa” in a pharmacy of a staff hospital. The telephone number of the manufacturer printed on the outer packing box was 13698124377, which caused suspicion at the time. The place is usually the manufacturer's contact phone should be a landline, very few mobile phone number, followed by a check, it really is a fake drug; in 2007 the Bureau found a drug in the hospital drug warehouse identified as "Shu Lexin pill" drugs, The words “strong, efficient, thorough, and complete” are printed on the outer packaging box, which is inconsistent with the relevant provisions in the “Standards for the Examination and Approval of Drug Advertisements”. Article 10 provides that the propaganda on the efficacy of medicines in drug advertisements should be scientific and accurate and must not contain Unscientifically expressing assertions or guarantees of efficacy and other unscientific terms or meanings, then verifying that the drug is a counterfeit drug.

Many regular manufacturers produce drugs that follow the rules. Fujian Putian City Food and Drug Administration found in its jurisdiction a cephalosporin sodium for spurious injections labeled as Leshan Sanjiu Jiuzheng Long-Term Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which at the time caused suspicion that the production batch number was on counterfeit bottles and The validity period is printed, and the genuine products produced by the manufacturers are printed. In the case of a mail-ordered drug-induced blood pressure capsule case, the approved approval number is “Zhuozizi: Z20060354”. The suspect is that there is a colon between Zhuyaozizi and Z, and the “Drug Registration Regulations” provide for approval. The format of the number is not available. After checking on the website of the State Bureau, its name is Yimai Kang Capsule. Counterfeit drugs often have multiple loopholes. As long as we can find a point and conduct thorough and detailed inspections, there will often be big discoveries.
