A
new database has been developed to assist authorities in the fight against
counterfeit/falsified medical products.
As part of its anti-counterfeiting activities,
the EDQM has announced the launch of a new database called “Know-X”. This
database collates reports on counterfeit/falsified medical products that have
been detected in Council of Europe member states. The idea is to provide a
user-friendly tool that will assist officials ( it is not available to industry
/ public) by expanding their knowledge and awareness of the problem of
counterfeit/falsified medicines, provide a basis for the exchange of
information, highlight and encourage collaboration between health and law
enforcement authorities, and foster the sharing of analytical information on
the testing of counterfeit/falsified and other illegal medicines within the
Network of Official Medicines Control Laboratories (OMCLs).
