Our Okoro blodas sha... Everything abt dem na fake. Chai...

You wonder dem kill Dora Akinyuli's husband.

oluku remind me who owns the killer MY PIKIN drug that killed children years ago

Praise God with a hymn

You bought drugs with very little active ingredients inside it..most of those unknown antimalaria brands from India are fortified with just little API..or another angle may probably that you were resistant to Arthemeter and lumenfantrine.People are resistant to this and they get better after taking other classes of anti malaria ( Dihydroartemsinin and piperaquine, Artseunate and mefloquine)and so on.

Aje...


Na Aboki dey use fake drug pass....

“I WAS 99.9% DEAD, BUT GOD GAVE ME A NEW CHANCE, FOR WHICH I AM THANKFUL!!!

My Ordeal with Malaria, Typhoid, and Fake Drugs

When I discovered that my Facebook friend Stella Jam had died of malaria, I was like, what the Bleep? Is malaria still a killer in the twenty-first century? Now I have the answers!

I traveled to Makurdi recently with my brother Joe Zex and #Kumashe (our soon-to-be bride). The journey was fun as we stopped from time to time to catch cruise on the way.

We arrived in Makurdi that evening, rested, and then resumed our journey to Gboko the next day, going from Gboko to Vandeikya, Vandeikya to Adikpo, Ushongo, and back to Makurdi.

The next day, I woke up with feverish sensations throughout my body. I proceeded to a nearby pharmacy, and was given malaria medicines by the pharmacist.

After a few days in Makurdi, Zex and I were meant to return to Abuja, but I didn't since I needed to take care of my health issue first. After three days on the medications, I was fine and ready to travel back to Abuja.

The symptoms reappeared as soon as I returned to Abuja that faithful evening. I quickly sent someone to a friend who operates a drugstore down the road to fetch typhoid medications, as I do each time I treat malaria. I'm not sure why, but I've been doing it for quite some time.

My friend phoned me and demanded that I treat malaria as well as typhoid. I told him that I had already treated Malaria with Amatem (Forte) Softgel in Makurdi. He stated it was a really nice medicine and inquired as to how I used it. I informed him that I took it that evening and continued the next morning. He claimed I took it wrongly, that I should have taken one that evening, then one the next day after 8 hours, and the others after 12 hours each. A claim that I later discovered to be correct.

I had to restart my treatment with medications supplied to me by my friend because the pharmacy in Makurdi failed to inform me of the timing.

My condition worsened after a few days of taking the meds, as I equally lost my appetite and became quite weak, with headaches and pains all over my body, particularly around my waist. Bananas became the only food I had an appetite for.

On Tuesday the following week, I went to the University of Abuja Specialist Hospital for a comprehensive medical checkup with the medications I was taking without results.

The medical office staff informed me that I would not be able to see a doctor that same day since there won't be any opening until Thursday. They collected my hospital card and scheduled my appointment for Thursday.

I reminded myself that I needed to see a doctor by any means necessary. I was going to knock on one of the consulting rooms' doors, when I noticed one doctor having a conversation with someone outside. I went straight to him and told him that if I don't see a doctor today, I had a feeling I might sleep and not wake up the next day. God forbid, he said.

The doctor took my card to the record office and asked them to book me immediately because he was ready to see me. He similarly told the nurses on duty to get me ready right away. God, please continue to bless this doctor for me. Amen.

Long story short, they performed RDTs and detected malaria parasites. I handed over the drugs I bought from my friend and was taking to the doctor. He locked eyes with me in a scary manner and invited another doctor from the next door to come in.

Lo and behold. They said those drugs were all fake, including the Panadol. I almost fainted. The doctors said that’s the major problem they’re experiencing at the hospital, sadly.

The doctors told me that most of the malaria and typhoid drugs out there are either fake or do not have the capacity to heal.

They issued me a fresh prescription and recommended I purchase the first item on the list from the hospital pharmacy and the other items from designated pharmacies outside the hospital.

The doctors both insisted that I shouldn’t buy alternative drugs but I should demand for the exact drugs written on the prescription list.

I quickly did research on the effects of fake and substandard drugs and discovered that the fallout of fake and substandard drugs includes poisoning, untreated disease, instant or early death, and treatment failure.

By the time I came out of this mess after more than three weeks, you wouldn't like to see me. I became extremely thin and unattractive. In fact, the weight I had been working so hard to shed at the gym came in through the back door.

If not by the grace of God, by this time people would have been circulating my obituary pictures all over the internet, even the ones who don’t even talk to me now

I've decided to share my experience so that you, your family, and friends may learn from it and be more cautious about purchasing medications from untrustworthy sources and refraining from self-medicating.”

At a stage I got so tired of some of these drugs and just went and used Chloroquine because it seemed some of these new drugs were not doing a proper job.
I managed the itching and the complete breakdown associated with piriton taken with it to reduce itching..

You went for cheap products at first. Now your eyes are opened.

Those drugs you marked are not fake but of low standard so, they couldn't help you.

Angom mna civir.

Then imagine the villagers buying and drinking the bad drugs and they will be dying and innocent one will be accused

Dora Akinyuli is missed

Penicillin:
You bought drugs with very little active ingredients inside it..most of those unknown antimalaria brands from India are fortified with just little API..or another angle may probably that you were resistant to Arthemeter and lumenfantrine.People are resistant to this and they get better after taking other classes of anti malaria ( Dihydroartemsinin and piperaquine, Artseunate and mefloquine)and so on.

Exactly bro.
Most of the malaria drugs especially arthemeter/lumefantrine are under strength, I suspected he took the one the milligrams weren't up to required milligrams, not necessarily means he took a poisonous drugs instead of malaria drugs.
Or like you pointed out that his body system might have resisted the Arthemeter/lumefantrine active ingredients.
Like myself, arthemeter/lumefantrine doesn't work for me and it doesn't mean that it's fake.
Dilydroartemisinin/Piperaquine works for me.

i am looking for a pharmacist that can let me use his or her license to open a pharmacy in Lagos for an annual fee, if you are willing, DM me pls lets chat

Self- medication is bad. I read from your write-up that you took banana while you were treating malaria. I will love to advice you that next time do not take any fruits while you are treating malaria and also after treatment of malaria do take multivitamin.

Op, when you initially bought the Amartem soft gel, did you demand to see the pharmacist on duty in that pharmacy to get information on how to use the drug? Of course, I am sure you did not. Like many Nigerians, you just called the drug and they assumed that you're an expert or that you already knew how to use the drug. Pharmacists give drug information free of charge, but many of you fail to demand these information when you go to buy drugs.

Now you decided to rush to a fake patent medicine store to buy the fake drugs instead of seeking professional advice right away. There's a reason why you're always advised to buy drugs from PCN registered pharmacies! Pharmacies are regulated, they are trained expert who know how to handle drugs so that a genuine drug does not become fake on the shelf due to poor storage conditions.

Also, because they're regulated and are always available for inspection, registered pharmacies would hardly stock fake drugs. This cannot be said about fake patent medicine vendors who often close shops and run away during enforcement exercises by PCN.

Besides, those selling fake drugs in wholesale usually sell to unregistered and unregulated stores because they know that those people are not trained to recognize fake drugs.
So, next time you want to buy drugs, go to registered pharmacies and when you get there, demand to see the pharmacist so you can ask questions on the drugs you want to buy. It is your right to demand those drugs information, and it is free of charge. Thank you!

lalasticlala, mynd44 Your attention is highly needed here. Help, Nigerians are dying due to fake drugs!

We all know the tribe that prides itself as merchants of fake drugs & hard drugs. That's why I don't symphatize with them when they shout marginalization, for I believe its KARMA, serving what they deserve, imagine millions of innocent souls that died because of one Okoro in Aba greed.

How

God himself saved you... It's also a lesson I have learnt.... Stay away from all these chemist... Locate a reliable pharmacy that offers only prescription based drugs from hospitals... Then general hospital pharmacy can also be reliable up to a point... Still shine your eye well well.

Too many fake stuff in Benue state, my eyes saw wenn during my service year. Eva water has alum taste, peak powdered milk that didn't dissolve and tasted weird, paracetamol that looked so chalky that you know you're better off not using it. It seems the adultrators know that there is little or no regulation and consumer protection in that state so they go and dump their substandard products there.

Thank God for saving you
