Spot  fake Biogesic meds acc to Unilab

“We understand that many are concerned about authenticity of  medicines they’ve purchased,” pharmaceutical firm Unilab said consumers should be vigilant when purchasing flu medicine as fraudsters take advantage of  unusual surge in demand by selling fake goods.

Drugstores earlier reported  “temporary shortage” in supply of flu and cough medicines as well as some vitamins as daily COVID-19 surged in the past few days. 

The  Department of Health reported over 17,000 daily COVID-19 cases with a positivity rate of 36.9 percent.

Unilab has quick guide on how to spot authentic paracetamol Biogesic product including color and engraving should be as how it is advertised. Fake ones appear brighter or paler; product pocket or cavity should fit well and not bigger than medicines; there’s  diamond pattern on packaging compared to dotted pattern on fake products; packaging color is standard blue. Fake ones tend to have lighter or darker color;  Unilab seal is rendered in watermark and can only be seen in certain angles whereas  fake products’ seal are clearly visible.

Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez has assured consumers that drugs manufactured locally, would be replenished within the week and that production capacity is sufficient to meet  demand.

A pharma group explained that drugstores usually have stocks for about 30 days and that  temporary shortage was caused by unusual demand. 

Some companies were also “airlifting” medicines from abroad to augment  local supply, Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines said.
