Protecting Patient Access to Safe and High Quality Medicine
ANTI-COUNTERFEITING
Understanding Counterfeiting
Counterfeits are intentionally designed to look like genuine medicine, often replicating the packaging, branding and even the physical appearance of authentic products. False representations are used to deceive buyers and patients into believing counterfeits are safe and effective medicines.
These illicitly traded medicines may cause serious and/or life-threatening health risks for patients. They often do not contain the correct compounds or levels of active ingredient and may contain impurities. Their proliferation can contribute to the emergence of drug resistance, exacerbate outbreaks of infectious diseases and undermine efforts to control epidemics.
Rantalliz is committed to protecting patient and global public health from bad actors selling counterfeit, adultered and other illicit version of medicines. In addition to reporting and working closely with law enforcement around the world, Rantalliz takes an active role to detect and prevent counterfeits and other pharmaceutical crime.
Protecting Patients is a Shared Responsibility
Ensuring access to safe and high-quality medicine is a responsibility that must be shared by everyone in the supply chain, including the patient.
Patients can stay safe by remaining vigilant. Always meet with your doctor to determine which medicine is right for you and use only the medicine prescribed. Before taking a medicine, always inspect packaging and contents for damage, alterations or differences from previous prescriptions for the same medicines. Key signs a medicine may be counterfeit include label discrepencies such as listing different active ingredients or dosage amounts, manipulated expiration dates, spelling errors, poor print quality and broken seals/packages.
If you are unsure about the authenticity of your medicine, ask your healthcare professional before taking the medicine. If you suspect a medicine to be counterfeit, adulterated or otherwise illegitimate, report the medicine to your doctor and pharmacy.
Report an Adverse Event
Patient safety is paramount to us, and we manage safety data relating to our treatments with the utmost rigor. While Rantalliz continously evaluate the safety of our treatments, it’s often not possible to detect every potential side effect associated with a medical product during clinical trails, so it is important to continue to report safety data once a product is autharized.
Collecting safety information from patients, healthcare providers and customers helps enable us to continually monitor the benefit and risk profiles of our medicinal products.
