Every toothpaste product in Nigerian are useless.

I bought Oral B toothpaste (big size), could you believe it was just air that was pumped inside the toothpaste

The toothpaste didn’t even last me up to 2 weeks

clockwisereport:
Same thing happened to me about four months ago. Bought fake oral-b toothpaste. Had to throw it away

nedekid:
Bro plenty things are fake, substandard or without nafdac number. Most times it is not the fault of the seller ie the supermarket as they buy wholesale from other markets supplied by importers.
In the last few weeks I have encountered such products. I use sensodine tooth paste, I bought one few weeks ago at blenco AKOWONJO, opened it to use, immediately it entered my mouth I noticed the different taste and smell. Since I spent money buying it an I no wan waste my money, decided to manage, Omo, by the 3rd day I felt my oral hygiene deteriorate. I had to go jendor supermarket, checked closely for nafdac number before buying. On close examination, I saw the difference, one had nafdac number, the other did not, the printing color was off, I called gsk, they asked for the details including pictures which I forwarded to the, till today, I am yet to receive feedback.
Few days ago, my daily HBP medication finished, I normally buy it between 29-34k, so I drove to medplus near me, them no get, I from there called another pharmacy I usually buy from too, they said available at 11k! How Omo, got in the car and rushed there before they change their mind, the confirmed it was 11k, I asked for 2 (me that had budgeted 30k plus for 1), i started praising tinubu sef that it seems his econs is finally working.
Omo, I got home, took the medicine, after 2-3 days I noticed headache, I checked my BP, it was high! I had to go check that coveram 10/10 medication only to see it had no nafdac number, said to be manufactured in turkey instead of the usual Ireland. I searched online and saw a complaint of the same product with similar batch number reported to be fake in Mexico or so.
Omo had to drive out to Theo pharmercy on AKOWONJO road to buy the one with nafdac number which cost me 38k.
Of course I contacted Servier, the drug manufacturer with pictures of the coveram product for the to confirm it's authenticity, but till now no response.
I have attached pictures of the sensodine and coveram 10/10.
The items on the left are the original while that on the right the dagbo, oluwole ones.

MemoriesAndMe:
Just go to another pharmacy and purchase an original one. Why open a thread over toothpaste and people have time to even respond? Pure waste of everyone's time.

Mandem05:
For all the people commenting that the product might be expired, or how OP knows it fake product please think. What's OP's motive for opening this important thread?

I read one comment asking why OP opened this thread. It's a shame that when a customer raises awareness about an issue such as this one, it's as if the customer is to blame for the issue.

Please everyone try to understand that most of the fake, expired or substandard products that are in our market space is a health disaster waiting to happen for the Nigerian consumers.

God to the dialysis centers around Nigeria and enquire from the patients how their predicament started.

Anyone that encounters fake or substandard products and raises awareness is a patriotic citizen Our Great country Nigeria.

jehoha696:
You even get mind use am brush teeth,assume as u raise mouth,all ur teeth just fall comot nkor,u don already confirm something to be fake,why going extra mile on taking dat risk

favour32:
All I know, there are two popular types of pepsodent toothpaste.
The one you bought is not fake but the cheaper brand with less quality.

Mariangeles:
Errrmmm...to make people aware?🤷🏽‍♀️
I believe that's a good reason.

Tell me you won't check well next time to go to buy a pack of toothpaste.

eagleonearth:
Please can Nlanders suggest to me what I should with this shop on my street that sold me a fake pepsodent toothpaste. The moment I opened it and pushed out the paste, I just knew it. The colours were blurred and paste was watery compared to the original with sharp colours and dry paste. I then settled down to compare it to the original on pepsodent's twitter page, that is when it dawned on me that I was just sold a fake product. I tried using it to brush and it did not foam, does not leave your mouth minty fresh as usual. This is clearly fake.

Can you please suggest what I do with this people. They also operate a drug store where I am sure they sell fake drugs to unsuspecting customers.
