How to identify the authenticity of medicines

Fake medicines are more disgusting than any other fake and shoddy goods. This is not only because it causes the victims to suffer economic losses, but more importantly, it causes serious damage to people's physical and mental health. Although the drug regulatory authorities have intensified their efforts to combat counterfeiting and drug manufacturers have improved their anti-counterfeiting technology, counterfeiters’ simulation technology is enough to confuse fakes with genuine ones. As drug regulatory law enforcement officers, how to quickly initially identify and improve their ability to judge counterfeit drugs on site is a challenge. Especially important. Below I have selected ten commonly used methods and now introduce them to you for your reference. Please correct any errors. 1. Color comparison identification method Color comparison can be carried out from the following three aspects. First, look at the appearance color of the drug. For example, the skin of genuine American ginseng is gray-white or gray-brown, and the skin of fake American ginseng is yellow-white. Secondly, compare the instructions. For example, the genuine MEBO Moist Burn Cream has a strong color feel, while the fake MEBO Moist Burn Cream has a poor color feel. Comparing the contents again, for example, the contents of genuine Di'ao Xinxuekang capsules are brown-yellow fine and uniform powder, while the contents of fake medicines are off-white or light yellow, and the powder thickness is uneven. There are many similar situations. 2. Water test comparison identification method Water test comparison is often used in the inspection of traditional Chinese medicine pieces. For example, mixing bezoar with water and applying it on the nails can dye the nails yellow, otherwise it is suspected to be fake medicine. Put the sappan wood into hot water, and the infusion will turn bright orange. Qinpi is soaked in heated water, and the leachate shows blue fluorescence under sunlight. 3. Fire Comparative Identification Method By mastering the physical and chemical properties of some drugs, you can also quickly identify genuine and fake drugs by using fire. If indigo is burned with low fire, there will be purple-red smoke. Sprinkle a small amount of sea gold sand on the fire, and it will emit a slight explosion and bright flame. Genuine Yandi products are flammable when burned, and a large amount of yellow oil oozes out, while fake products are not deformed or flammable when burned. 4. Taste Comparison Identification Method Some medicines can be quickly judged as genuine or fake by using their taste. For example, Diao Xinxuekang puts a small amount of the contents into the mouth. The genuine product has a strong spicy feeling, while the counterfeit product is generally filled with plant powder and has no taste. The difference can also be found in some granules that contain sugar but are not bitter. For example, the authentic loquat cough granules have a refreshing taste, while the fake ones only taste like potato candy. Comparative identification method of five approval numbers: If the same variety produced by the same factory has two dosage forms, one capsule and one tablet, after comparison, it is found that the two varieties have the same approval number, which is inconsistent with the approval of drugs in my country. The registration number system is inconsistent. Different varieties and different dosage forms must have their own approval numbers. 6. Telephone number comparison and identification method: For example, most pharmaceutical manufacturers will leave company contact numbers on their instructions. If the area code does not match the place of origin, the phone number cannot be reached or the number is empty, etc., it should be regarded as a suspicious drug. Further investigation and verification is required. 7. Comparative identification method of pharmaceutical packaging materials: The packaging materials of counterfeit drugs are mostly pharmaceutical packaging materials from informal pharmaceutical packaging material manufacturers. Some plastic bottles have shrinkage and uneven sealing seals, and many have scorch marks. Some outer packaging boxes are obviously different from normal drugs. For example, the outer packaging of genuine Lijunsha has clear writing on the lower left corner of the box for three-dimensional holographic anti-counterfeiting. Another example is the "cut" on Yangssen drugs in Xi'an, the chicken "eyes" on the outer packaging of Tongrentang Wuji Baifeng Pills in a certain province, and the size of the MEBO moist burn ointment packaging box. Genuine products are different from counterfeit products. 8. Quality Standard Comparison and Identification Method 9. Weight Comparison and Identification Method Generally, there is a weight difference between counterfeit drugs and their corresponding genuine products. For example, MEBO Moist Burn Ointment, Dacnin Cream, etc., the tube body of genuine products is relatively full, while the tube body of fake medicines is flat; the genuine Miracle Loquat Cough Granules are _ grams per bag, and the fake medicines are less than _ grams per bag; 10. Comparative identification method of advertising approval documents at present The issue of drug advertising is quite confusing. When advertising in a certain province, the advertising approval document from the Food and Drug Administration of a certain province is not available or the drug inspection report is not provided for registration. Generally, they are blurry copies, and there are many cases of tampering and forgery. This kind of situation should be the focus of inspection
