The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has intercepted counterfeit malaria drugs worth over N1.2bn in Lagos, intensifying its crackdown on substandard medicines across the country.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Friday, the agency said it seized 277 cartons of counterfeit and unregistered Malamal Forte malaria drugs in a warehouse in the Ilasa-Oshodi area of the state.
The fake medicines, which were disguised in cartons labelled as Diclofenac Potassium 50mg, were illegally imported from Shanxi Tianyuan Pharmaceuticals Group in China and falsely declared as spare parts.
The Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, reaffirmed the agency’s resolve to rid the country of fake and substandard medicines.
She said, “With the full support of the Presidency and the Federal Ministry of Health, NAFDAC remains committed to eliminating counterfeit drugs and protecting public health.”
