You leave all the hundreds of thousands of fake drugs circulating in Nigeria and start warning us about the one in Bangladesh!

Not only too many drugs in Nigeria that are fake
But too many drugs now that are below the required or usual standard

Imagine i was shocked when a doctor said I should not buy the green Doxycycline because it is not working.

There are too many substandard drugs in Nigeria, a bill was sent to the Presidency to close all open drug markets but the bill was kicked out.

Dangers of Open Drug Market

1) A business mogul can pay a Chinese company to produce 40mg of doxycycline and label it as 100mg while the required dose of doxycycline to give a therapeutic effect is 100mg twice daily. More money will be made and the man will bribe the custom officials to allow free delivery of such drugs into Nigeria.

2) Poor storage conditions; drugs are chemicals as such need suitable environment for their preservation. A very active drug if not properly stored can become a substandard drug.

3) Difficulty in tracking adulterated products.

If our politicians and men of high value take their medical treatments in Nigeria, they would have looked for a way to better our health care sector but because they go outside, they'll prefer to make 20million naira from substandard products than to stop its importation
