Initiative to Heighten Battle Against Counterfeit Drugs
Commissioner of Food and Drugs Mark B. McClellan, M.D., Ph.D., announced a major new initiative to more aggressively protect American consumers from drugs that have been counterfeited (July 16). The new initiative includes creating an internal task force to explore the use of modern technologies and other measures such as stronger enforcement that will make it more difficult for counterfeit drugs to get distributed with, or deliberately substituted for, safe and effective drugs. The task force will submit its initial findings and recommendations in approximately 60 days and will issue a final report 5 months from now, after it has had the opportunity to hear from the public.
In the United States, drug counterfeiting is relatively rare, but the World Health Organization has estimated that perhaps 7% to 8% of drugs worldwide are counterfeit, and reports from some countries suggest that as much as one-half of those countries' drugs are counterfeit.
