Counterfeit medicines are fake or substandard products that may harm patients. To identify them:
- Check Packaging:
Look for misspelled labels, poor-quality printing, or tampered seals.
- Inspect Appearance:
Note unusual color, shape, or size differences compared to the original product.
- Verify Source:
Purchase only from licensed pharmacies or authorized distributors.
- Authentication Features:
Look for QR codes, holograms, or serial numbers provided by the manufacturer.
Always consult a healthcare professional or the company representative, if you suspect a product is counterfeit.
