1 Identification from the outer packaging of the product

1.1 Packaging pattern Generally, the outer packaging of genuine veterinary drugs has clear printing and bright colors, while the outer packaging of counterfeit products has blurred patterns and poor printing.

1.2 Outer packaging Generally, genuine veterinary drug packaging bags are thick and of good quality, while the packaging quality of counterfeit products is indeed inferior, such as the genuine and fake products above. In addition, some products also have logos on their outer packaging, while counterfeit products generally do not. For example, the 227 g plastic barrel of "Instant Instant Tonic 18" produced by the Animal Health Products Factory of Xi'an Alice Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. The genuine barrel lid has the trademark and the embossed pattern of Xi'an Alice's Chinese and English logos, while the counterfeit product has No. There are also genuine and fake products with completely different packaging. For example, the 5g paper package "Afudin" produced by the Veterinary Drug Factory of Beijing Agricultural University New Technology Development Corporation has exactly the same packaging pattern, factory address and phone number as the genuine and fake products. The only The difference is that the fake ones are packed in small plastic bags.

2 Identify by the weight of the product

Genuine veterinary drugs produced by regular manufacturers are very standard, and there will not be much error in weight. However, some counterfeit products are packaged randomly. In terms of weight, it's either severely lacking or it's surprisingly heavy.

3 Identify some minor problems in the product based on experience

Take the 250 g plastic bag "Sudeli" produced in Guangchang, Guangdong as an example. The genuine product has " There is a small gap (the function is to make it easy to tear open to get the medicine), but some counterfeit products found do not have it; the size of the genuine product is relatively large, while the volume of the fake product is relatively small; there is a "" in the upper right corner of the trademark logo on the front of the genuine product, but now it is found that Some counterfeit products do not. Another example is the "norfloxacin powder" in 50 g plastic bags produced by the Shanghai Livestock and Poultry Center Veterinary Drug Factory. The production date (batch number) of the authentic product is printed on the lower seal of the bag using a concave and convex method. However, some counterfeit products are now found. But there are only seal marks and no production date.

4 Identification from the manufacturer’s own anti-counterfeiting signs and manufacturer’s notices and announcements

4.1 Anti-counterfeiting signs such as Sichuan Essence Enterprise’s “Fire to See the Essence”, Andu Group’s “ The anti-counterfeiting mark "See Andu when roasted with fire", as long as the mark is peeled off after being roasted, the above-mentioned hidden characters will appear on the genuine product, otherwise it can be regarded as a fake. In addition, some manufacturers have also pasted various laser anti-counterfeiting marks, fluorescent purple light anti-counterfeiting secret marks, or vacuum high-tech patterns and marks on their products. You only need to check them carefully.

4.2 Anti-counterfeiting bottle caps. The caps of some genuine bottled veterinary drugs have anti-counterfeiting settings. The caps and anti-counterfeiting rings will be separated, making it impossible for counterfeiters to use their old packaging for production and canning. Counterfeiting products generally There is no anti-counterfeiting ring.

4.3 New and old packaging Generally, manufacturers will constantly update their packaging to reduce counterfeit products, such as the 30 g plastic bag "Shentong Nine Plus One" produced by Guangxi Beiliu Shentong Veterinary Drug Factory, Guangxi Hepu Nanzhu Animal Drug The factory produces 5 x 10 ml cardboard boxes of "Compound Andan Injection", etc. These products have been replaced with new packaging one or more times. When users purchase such products, if new packaging comes on the market, please give up purchasing and using products with old packaging.

4.4 Check the manufacturer’s notices and announcements. These copies are generally found in distributors and in the entire package of medicines. For example, Shanghai Paiside Biochemical Co., Ltd. issued several notices in July 1999 and in the past few months, informing it of its new packaging plan and identification method for the 500 ml plastic bottle of "Baidu Kill" (disinfectant). You can easily identify authenticity by reading the contents in detail before purchasing.

5 Unpacking and checking authenticity

5.1 Take the 227 g hard plastic bag "Electrolytic Multidimensional" produced by Shandong Mingfa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as an example. The genuine product is vacuum packed. When not opened, it is in the form of a whole block (caking), which is as hard as a stone. Once opened, it will naturally disperse into powder form, while the counterfeit product is directly in powder form.

5.2 Take the 0.5 content 500 ml glass bottle "Haida Injection" produced by Guangdong Haikang Veterinary Drug Factory as an example. If the genuine product is shaken back and forth with the bottle, a lot of bubbles will be produced and the bubbles will disappear. Slow, while fake products do not have the above performance.

5.3 Take the 2 ml x 12 cardboard boxes of "Antidysentery Essence" produced by Guangxi Pingnan County Veterinary Drug Factory as an example. Take the liquid and drop it on blank letterhead or kraft paper. The authentic product will be available within a few seconds. That is, it spreads and penetrates quickly, but counterfeit products do not have this phenomenon; in addition, the genuine "Anti-dysentery Essence" does not contain alcohol, while the one containing alcohol is a counterfeit product.

5.4 Take the 250 g barreled "Quick 14" produced in the United States and underwritten by Hong Kong Dafang Western Medicine Feed Company as an example. Open the bottle, take out the medicine, and cut it open. You can tell the authenticity based on the smell ( This can only be identified based on experience); in addition, put a small amount of medicine in water or in your mouth, and it will dissolve quickly without leaving any residue. It is genuine, while those that are difficult to dissolve, have precipitate or are insoluble are considered fake.

6 Identify from the selling price

Generally, counterfeit products are sold at a much lower price than similar products to attract customers. For example, when purchasing, the author discovered that the above-mentioned "ampicillin" with a content of 58.3 g in 10 g packages produced in Jiangsu was purchased for 6.4 yuan per bag for genuine products, but only 2 yuan per bag for counterfeit products. However, during our inspections, we have also discovered unscrupulous merchants who pass off substandard and fake veterinary drugs purchased at low prices as genuine products and sell them at high prices.

7 Let the manufacturer help identify it

If you cannot tell the authenticity of some products and are suspicious, please write to the address on the package or call directly. For consultation over the phone, the manufacturer will still be happy to answer your questions.

There may be other ways to identify authenticity. No matter how many methods you have mastered, you still hope that when customers purchase goods (medicines), it is best to go to a business department with complete licenses and a good reputation. Never Coveting cheapness and convenience.
