However, how to identify a common man fake and real medicines? Let’s know ….

Take medicines only by showing the doctor

The first thing that is about to understand is that we should never take medicine by asking ourselves or the chemist. Always take medicine only on the advice of a doctor and consume them as mentioned as mentioned. This method is correct and it can probably be avoided by fake medicines. However, despite this, we should take care of many things-

  • Whenever you go to buy medicines, definitely see a QR code above the drug wrappers. This is the QR code on real medicines, which you can scan from mobile. In this, complete information about the medicine and its supply chain is given.
  • If there is no QR code on any medicine, then the drug can also be fake. Avoid buying such medicines. According to the rule, it is mandatory to impose QR code in all medicines priced above Rs 100. If there is no QR code on the drug wrappers, avoid buying them.
  • The QR code on medicines is of the advanced version, whose entire details issue the Central Database Agency. The QR code is also changed for every medicine. Therefore it is difficult to create a fake QR code.
  • A helpline number is also given on the drug wrappers. If you suspect the medicine, then you have to do SMS on that number. After this, the company will send you information and tell you whether this medicine is real or come out.
