How to test the authenticity of imported drugs

First get the imported medicine, which can be observed from the appearance packaging. If it is really an imported drug, the name, trademark, ingredients, usage and dosage of the drug will generally be introduced in Chinese and English. If you see a drug introduced in English without Chinese, you can doubt its source.

Secondly, you can know the truth from the registration number. Imported drugs that want to be sold in China should obtain the registration number. Foreign drugs are the registration certificates of imported drugs, and Chinese drugs in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province provinces are the registration certificates of pharmaceutical products.

These numbers will be printed on the package and instructions. Finally, if you still can't judge the truth through the above two ways, you can still check with China Food and Drug Administration. Log in to the website and click Data Query. You can select imported drugs from drugs and click Enter. Then you will see the following quick query. Enter the name of the drug to be queried, and you can see the detailed description of the drug.

Appearance mentioned in drug appearance identification skills has two meanings. First, it refers to the appearance involved in drug packaging, including packaging boxes, packaging boxes, medicine bottles, labels, instructions and so on. The other refers to the appearance and shape of the drug itself.

When judging whether the inspected products are counterfeit or inferior drugs by visual inspection and identification, we should pay attention to the following issues:

This is a method based on the comparison between genuine and fake products. Therefore, drug inspectors should understand and be familiar with the product appearance of various regular manufacturers, which requires us to accumulate experience in the usual inspection work and constantly improve the identification level.

In the process of drug inspection, it is necessary to review the source certificates of various drugs, carefully identify the authenticity of delivery notes, and strengthen the inspection of relevant situations. The production and sales channels of counterfeit and inferior drugs are obviously different from those of regular products.

Generally, the price of counterfeit and inferior drugs is obviously lower than that of genuine drugs, and some of them are even lower than the product cost price. In drug supervision and inspection, it is found that the price of drugs is obviously lower than or deviated from the cost price, which should be paid attention to and sampled in time.

Best-selling varieties, tight varieties, well-known brands and expensive drugs are mostly counterfeited, and the phenomenon of confusing the real with the fake also occurs from time to time, and the means of counterfeiting are constantly changing. Drug inspectors should respond flexibly according to the actual situation.

Therefore, its methods and basic environment are also limited. If possible, we should try our best to carry out experiments through rapid inspection and identification, and draw further conclusions, such as TLC and chemical reaction identification.
