NAFDAC Counterfeit Drugs

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned members of the Nigerian Association of Patent and Proprietary Medicine Dealers (NAPPMED) against selling substandard and counterfeit drugs, stating that involvement in such unethical practices would not go unpunished.

The agency’s Director-General, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, represented by Bitrus Fraden, the Director of Post-Marketing Surveillance, issued this warning on Monday during a one-day sensitisation event in Abuja.

Adeyeye warned of the dangers of selling poor-quality medicines. She said that such products not only fail to meet proper standards but can also be harmful to human health.

She called on medicine dealers to ensure they sell only genuine products. She also urged them to prioritise the well-being of their communities over profit.

She advised medicine dealers to always source their products from reputable suppliers and ensure everything they sell complies with NAFDAC standards.

Adeyeye called for a united effort to fight the spread of substandard and falsified drugs in Nigeria.
