The state has always regarded the fight against counterfeit drugs as a prominent and important task, and has always maintained a high-pressure strike.

Outer packaging

The printing quality of fake and shoddy medicine packaging is mostly poor, and the anti-counterfeiting mark is not clear. In addition, according to the regulations, the "common name" (including chemical composition) of the drug should be indicated on the outer packaging instead of the "product name". For example, “Ammonia Plus Capsule” is the generic name of the drug, while “Quick-effect Injury Capsule” is the trade name. If the outer package only has the trade name and the common name is not allowed, it is not allowed.

2. China Drug Electronic Regulatory Barcode

Use the mobile app to scan the Chinese drug electronic regulatory code on the drug package to get the drug details, including the authenticity tips, expiration date and flow direction. If there is no Chinese drug electronic supervision code, see the approval number.

3. Approval number

The drug must be able to see the approval number on the packaging: “National Medicine Standard H (or ZSJBF) + 8 digits”, which means the drug approved by the State Food and Drug Administration for production and marketing, H letter for chemical, Z Chinese patent medicines, S biological products, J imported drugs, domestic packaging, B drugs with auxiliary therapeutic effects, F pharmaceutical excipients. The approval number is equivalent to the “ID card” of the drug. If it is not certain that it is not a drug, if there is a data inquiry on the website of the State Food and Drug Administration, it is found that the name of the drug, the manufacturer, and the approval number are consistent with the drug. The true medicine, which is not met or not found, is definitely a fake medicine.

4. Identification of the appearance of the drug

The contents of the same drug should be uniform in appearance, and the tablets should be free from roughening, peeling and breaking, no adhering fine powder, no stain spots; whether the capsules are softened, chipped or surface-adhered; whether the tablets have spots or discoloration , lobes, mildew, crystallization; oral liquid with or without turbidity, flocculent mold; whether the pellet has deformation, discoloration, mildew, odor; whether the granules are agglomerated, dissolved, hardened; the syrup requires clarification regardless of the color depth, observe whether There are turbidity, sediment, gas, mold, discoloration and other traits that do not meet the specifications; the injection package should be tight, uniform color, no leakage, long mildew and so on.
