E-DRUG: counterfeit ARVs in DRC (4)
-----------------------------------
Are these ARVs under discussion counterfeit or substandard?
Or probably produced by unrecognised pharmaceutical
industries but the drugs are OK in terms of content and
bioavalability?.
One needs to make these differences when addresing these
issues, otherwise we may enter into producers warfare.

[Moderator's comment: as the ARVs found in DRC were fraudulently labelled as
being produced by well-known companies at non-existing addresses, they
classify as real counterfeits. I don't think we should try and find out
whether these counterfeited ARVs contained the "real" ingredients! WB]
