Passage :

The term “counterfeit drug” may be used to describe a drug that is made by someone other than the genuine manufacturer, by copying or imitating the original product, without authority or right, in order to defraud and sell it as the original one.
Anyone, anywhere in the world, can come across counterfeit medicine which looks right but which contains harmful toxic substances or inactive ingredients. In all cases, contents of counterfeits are unreliable since their source is unknown and always illegal.
Lack of borders’ control, weak regulations governing the medicine distribution system and the globalization of markets, all these three elements together have contributed to a rise of both counterfeiting medicines and the existence of poor quality products.
Fake medicines can be life threatening - and are reported to have caused even death in Africa and Asia - because inert antibiotics do not cure an infectious disease and a counterfeit vaccine does not protect from illness.
On the economic side, legitimate manufacturers of pharmaceutical products suffer from patent and copyright infringement because counterfeiting in reality “hijacks’’ their products. The governments are also affected by this through the loss of taxation revenue. In conclusion, a lot of people are earning huge sums of money, others are loosing them, and between these and those, millions of victims are completely lost inside the dilemma of quality and price…
