Every tenth drug product in the world is a fake according to the Food and Drug Administration FDA. This means annual sales losses of some 17 billion euros for the pharmaceutical industry, not counting the secondary costs due to ineffective or toxic drugs. In the "Packaging" theme pavilion in hall 12, experts present fake products and show how imitations can be effectively prevented. The marking of drugs (product marking), the use of RFID chips, which help to make the logistics chain transparent, or secondary packages are only a few of the possible ways for pharmaceutical manufacturers to protect themselves against counterfeit drugs. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
