Public Alert No. 027/2025 – Alert on Confirmed Counterfeit Postinor2
(Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) in Nigeria
Released: August 22, 2025
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control
(NAFDAC) hereby notifies the public of falsified Type 1 and 2 batches
of POSTINOR 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) product in circulation. A report
was received from the Society of Family Health (SFH), the MAH, which
confirmed that their company did not import that product batch.
The noticeable difference was found to be as follows:
The font size of the text on the pin verification sticker appears
smaller and has a wrong spelling of the word Veify instead of Verify
on the fake; meanwhile, the text font on the sticker of the original
appears bigger and more visible. There is also a wrong spelling behind
the pack of the fake Distnibuted in Nigeria instead of distributed in
Nigeria
Postinor-2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) is a brand of emergency
contraceptive pill (ECP) containing the active ingredient
levonorgestrel.
