That could be due to lack of stringent measures to curb fake drugs in the country. With the rampant bribery and corruption in the country it is easy to get fake drugs into the market to the detriment of the ordinary citizens.

If NAFDAC is serious they should start working with the ordinary citizens to arrest the situation by reporting fake drugs small factories in basement, shanty buildings,market places,surroundings,etc.

There should be a death penalty for anyone that imports and aides the import of fake goods into the country. After the first 20 have been killed others will abandon the biz.

T-smooth:
@ifeharam, it may seems funny to you but people take it personal especially those u target. I would advice u to desist from it.

Okay. Peace flag raised
You r my guy

So why is the DG of nafdac telling us this If i were the president he would have got his sack letter today When Dora Akunyeli was there we saw how things were moving fake companies getting busted everyday.

The bottom line is that the nafdac of today is very much to blame for this

What is the true definition of a counterfeit drug in Nigeria?

Is it drugs that did get NAFDAC approval b4 importation or clearance?

I think, if one import generic penadol, which cheaper than the brand name penadol and has been tested and approved by laboratory to contain the same chemical component of the brand name penadol, NAFDAC will seize them and term them as counterfeit drugs if one did not get the necessary approval or license from them..

So in many cases 'counterfeit' drug does not mean fake drug.

Shocked? Huh! Nt at al.

Death penalty for fake[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] drug importers: nafdac does not make d laws for d nation. Nafdac had proposed to the N-assembly to make that offence a life jail but they are not forthcomin.
Nafdac not doing anything: you have to read your papers n listen to d news to know aw much Nafdac is doing. The D-G was jus being modest,frank and realistic to have said those words.u don't expect everybody to accrue 100% to himself lik our most reverred Maurice Iwu.
As perfect n sophisticated America is they have tons of problems concerning drugs n narcotics.just google it u wil see.
With al sense of modesty ; NAFDAC is one of d most effective and efficient bodies in Nigeria. It is globally recognised.
Please don't take this issue personal,let's jus contribute our individual efforts to drive this great country forward. Try n see n say positive tins about our fatherland.
Nafdac....safeguarding the health of the nation
NIGERiA....great nation,good people

This piece of information points out the present NAFDAC president is not doing his job very well.

kandiikane: Ha!

And it's the IGBOS that are selling all these fake drugs. They bring all their sh*t to Yorubaland. Why can't they just phuck off? Why must they indulge in criminal behavior all the time?

How are d fake drugs imported? Or produced within nigeria, where and how are dey sold in d mkt and what are d efforts put in place to stem d tide or eliminate counterfeit drugs in nig by bodies or organisations concernedn and efforts at senstising nigerians both elites and masses.

Tell me na who de manufacture the drug na....we wan wipe out our generation ne?

abugbe: sef me don stop to waste money say me dey go chemist store for their fake drugs, na native mecidince me dey take now. But GOD dey sha...... Naija we go survive

Guy please watch your liver and kidneys o!!!!!!!!!!!
I know the number of patients we managed at unth for liver & kidney failure as a result of herbal remedies. I am not saying they don't work, the problem is that its dosing is not worked out scientifically so people end taking more than they need and ruin their organs. The seller may just tell u take two cups morning & night but that may contain a hundred times more than you need
