AN ARTICLE ON COUNTERFEIT MEDICINES ('PEOPLE ARE DYING EVERY DAY')
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
The proliferation of counterfeit and poor-quality medicines is a major public health problem, especially in developing countries lacking adequate resources to effectively monitor their prevalence. Industrialized countries are, for the moment, more affected by the phenomenon of adulteration of dietary supplements (DS) and herbal drugs. Counterfeit medicines (CM) in addition to the serious health risk they pose to populations, constitute a major challenge for analytical laboratories for their detection and characterization. The aim of this review is to present several examples for uncovering CM.
