Falsified antibiotics: Guarantee your treatment with a reliable analysis

Antibiotics are essential medicines, used to combat potentially serious bacterial infections. Yet their popularity makes them a prime target for counterfeiters. Antibiotics account for a disproportionate share of the falsified drugs market, with dramatic consequences for health and the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Why are antibiotics so widely adulterated?

According to various studies, antibiotics are among the most counterfeited drugs in the world. They account for up to 28% of all falsified pharmaceutical products. Their high demand - particularly in countries with fragile healthcare systems - creates a breeding ground for the sale of products of dubious, even dangerous, quality.

The dangers of falsified antibiotics

A falsified drug may contain :

• No or insufficient active ingredients - rendering the treatment ineffective,
• Poor-quality ingredients or contaminants, toxic to the body.

These excesses give rise to two major types of risk:

• Treatment failure, with potential worsening of the infection.
• Favors antibiotic resistance: under-dosing gives bacteria the opportunity to adapt and become resistant.

On a global scale, these substandard or falsified products generate significant costs - estimated at $30.5 billion a year - and seriously affect confidence in healthcare systems.

Laboratory analysis: an indispensable safeguard

At Pharmanalyse, we have developed an antibiotic analysis service that combines scientific rigor and speed:

• Identification of the active ingredient: confirmation of its presence or detection of an absent ingredient, substitute or contamination.
• Accurate dosage: verification that the concentration complies with pharmaceutical standards.
• Impurity detection: analysis of potential contaminants or the presence of undeclared adjuvants.

Thanks to these controls, we enable every patient to check the quality and safety of his or her antibiotic treatment.

Why have your antibiotics analyzed?

• You have doubts about the origin (online purchase, parallel circuit, import).
• The treatment does not seem effective, despite regular use.
• You want to protect your health and that of those around you, by avoiding bacterial resistance.

Order an analysis from pharmanalyse.com today: in just a few simple steps, you'll receive a detailed and reliable report on the compliance of your drug.

In conclusion, antibiotics are essential, but their counterfeiting represents a real threat to public health. Don't put your treatment at risk: analyze your medicines as soon as their authenticity is in doubt.
