‼️Be careful with medicines and vaccines sold online or by unauthorized facilities‼️

Due to the increase in counterfeit medicines and other medical products being sold in the market, the DOH reminds people to be careful and not buy if:

❌There is an error in the label or spelling and the packaging looks different
❌The FDA batch/lot number, manufacturing and expiration date are missing
❌The medicine appears different in terms of look, smell, or taste
❌It is ineffective
❌The seller or the facility is not licensed to sell such medicines

Report any suspicious medicines or vaccines to the FDA immediately: ereport@fda.gov.ph or (02) 8809-5596.
