Genuine Medicines

The global counterfeit drug trade, a billion-dollar industry, is thriving in Africa. The markets are flooded with fake and poor-quality drugs.

This Page provides a platform for Clients to contact Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Technologists Practising in Kenya, to help them to IDENTIFY AND PURCHASE GENUINE MEDICINES in the Country. The WHO defines counterfeit medicine as “one which is deliberately and fraudulently mislabeled with respect to identity and/or source.” Both branded and generic products are faked. In some parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America, more than 30% of the medicines on sale can be fake, notes the organization. About 100,000 deaths a year in Africa are linked to the counterfeit drug trade, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The detection of fakes has become more difficult over the years, notes a 2012 study published by the Lancet, because of “counterfeiters’ increased ability to reproduce holograms and other sophisticated printing techniques.” Some even add active ingredients that pass quality test controls but don’t provide any benefit to the user. Through this page and group, GENUINE MEDICINES, we aim at helping patients and all people in general to identify the genuine medicines that are on sale in Kenya. This media provides a platform for interaction with Pharmacists and other medical personnel for peer discussions and professional advice. Health Professionals are also free to give ETHICAL and PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION about themselves, their products and services and their location and contacts. THIS IS AIMED AT MINIMIZING THE MENACE OF FAKE MEDICINES!!
