| Abstract: | The issue of counterfeit medicines was mainly associated with developing countries, however it has now become of significant concern world-wide. While the exact extent of the problem is still unknown, the prevalence of counterfeit medicines is increasing, with a shift in focus from life style medicines to life saving medicines. As compared to 2005 the EU registered an increase of 380% of counterfeit medicines seized at EU borders in 2007. |
