It’s really hard to detect fake medicine because everything looks the same.
Sometimes even the name, colour, and packing all match.
But if you look closely, small misprints or wrong dose may be there.
That’s why we should always check properly and buy from trusted shops.

Counterfeit (fake or falsified) medicines may be harmful to your health because while being passed off as authentic, may contain the wrong ingredients, contain too much, too little or no active ingredient at all or contain other harmful ingredients.

I think there is no better method that can prove the authenticity of a drug than the purchasing of the drug in presence of licensed pharmacies and ensuring that the packaging is not tampered with. QR codes, holograms, or scratches panels are really useful and now some of the Apps can help you find out whether the drug is real or not.
