The statement revealed that NAFDAC locked up the stores during its pharmaco-vigilance activities which took it to all the local government areas of the state.
The statement spoke of the Agency’s resolve to maintain its campaign against fake and adulterated drugs for as long as pharmacists and patent drug dealers continue to sell questionable drugs.
NAFDAC intensified surveillance of pharmacy shops and patent medicine stores across the country late last year when it took delivery of numerous units of a portable handheld counterfeit drug detecting machine named TruScan. Officials of the Agency have been to different states, including the Federal Capital Territory portable, with the equipment for on-the-spot scanning of drugs on the shelves of pharmacy shops and patent medicine stores.
