E-DRUG: BMJ: Handheld device for counterfeit drug detection to be tested in Africa (2)

[Some editing of the message for readability. DB]

Dear E-Druggers

This is a very welcome development. I wish this device will be tested in my country - Nigeria - as reports have shown so many counterfeit and substandard drugs are flooding the drug market. Attempts to stop the menace have proved abortive. In only a few pharmacies that are registered will one be able to get the authentic drugs; few of the antimalarials sold outside the public hospitals are up to the standard.

Warm regards

Hi,
I would also like to have one such device to test the medicines available in India.
If there is any multi centric/ multinational study, count me in!
