IFPMA Launches 10 Principles On Counterfeit Medicines

The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA) hopes the The IFPMA Ten Principles on Counterfeit Medicines will highlight the full scope of the problem and demonstrate that the fight against counterfeit medicines is simply about protecting patients’ health.

In a nutshell, here are the 10 principles:
  1. Medicine counterfeiting is first and foremost a crime against patients
  2. Counterfeit medicines threaten the full spectrum of legitimate medicines.
  3. Patents have nothing to do with counterfeiting and counterfeiting has nothing to do with patents.
  4. All substandards are not counterfeits.
  5. A medicine that is authorized for marketing by one regulatory authority but not by another should not be regarded as counterfeit.
  6. Government regulatory and enforcement authorities must be fully vested with the proper power and adequately resourced to fight counterfeits.
  7. Stopping the international trade in counterfeit medicines is vital.
  8. All stakeholders across the pharmaceutical supply chain must be made aware of the health threats posed by counterfeit medicines and collaborate.
  9. Global cooperation is needed
  10. The leadership of the World Health Organization (WHO) is crucial.
