WildChild00: Well good news on the part of National agency for food and drug, this is Nigeria were everyone wants to survive in one way or the other, do you know that those fake drug producers, are thinking of other means to beat the system, for example "Ampiciox Beecham" 500mg, the producers placed a scratch seel on it, for all buyers to scratch and text via telephone to a short code, likewise fake producers as well too, they hv their own short code too placed on their own fake Ampiciox Beecham, it takes the grace of God to differiciate the original from fake, you will be sent a message too on the fake, likewise the original tooooooooo. The question is how do u know the fake frm the origianal, if they both send confirmation alert messages.

That's why you need to be current with stuffs.

The general code for texting is 38353. If you go and text to another short code, you are O.Y.O!

Well the service will work as long as it is done in the day, my experience wanting to confirm the authenticity of a drug @ night, the confirmation did not arrive till the next day in the morning.
moreso, only few/expensive drugs have the scratch seal on them, the cheaper ones have not!

Actually, they dont reply immediately, wen I bought, Ampiclox Beecham, it took dem 2 working days to reply me, so are you telling me dat I should have waited for 2 days before making use of the drug?
1. Scratch off the panel below to see the PIN number.
2. Text Pin for fee to 38353 to check if genuine.
pin is 114769596470
3. You should get an sms reply shortly

except more awareness is done, most people will still not know, becos u will not get responses immediately, those fake producers on the other hand, are watching, and might even send alert immediately.

real_ugee: Like they say, he who laughs last (if is not a “stammerer” or a “fool”) laughs best. NAFDAC (National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control ) has been enjoying the last laugh since the introduction of the Mobile Authentication Service (MAS) in Nigeria. The Mobile Authentication Service will enable you check whether a drug is fake or original with your mobile phone even before purchase.

How Does the Mobile Authentication Service Work?


When next you go to purchase a drug check or ask if it is MAS (Mobile Authentication Service) Enabled. If it is follow these steps below;

Check for a unique panel (like that of a recharge card). Every Mobile Authentication Service Enabled drug comes with a unique 10-digit pin.
Scratch of the panel, and text the unique 10-digit pin to 38353. After a few seconds, you will get a reply telling you whether the drug is fake or original.

If the drug if fake, don’t ask me what you should do. cheesy I know Lonart (Popular Anti-Malaria Drug) and Apiclox can be confirmed in this way. Do you know other drugs that work with NAFDAC’s Mobile Authentication Service, please let us know.
