When it comes to emergency contraceptives, the only thing that should be fake is either your confidence approaching the counter or your voice, for the fear of being identified if you\u2019re a shy person. But, here, in our beloved country, Nigeria, where the birth rate is high (but also declining), the fake version of Postinor 2, one of Nigeria\u2019s most commonly used emergency contraceptive pills, is flooding the market.<\/p>\n

NAFDAC received a report from the Society of Family Health (SFH) and the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH), which confirmed that their company did not import the two types of counterfeit products in circulation.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re buying from a pharmacy, an online store, or a roadside vendor, knowing how to spot counterfeit Postinor can protect your health and peace of mind. Here are a few ways to recognise fake Postinor 2 pills before your wallet, and more importantly, your health, pays the price.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Check out the pin verification sticker. On the fakes, the text is tiny, with some words, such as \u201cVerify,\u201d misspelled as “Veify.” At the back of the pack, the word \u201cDistributed\u201d is also misspelt as “Distnibuted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the type 2 of the counterfeit product doesn\u2019t have these same misspellings, the packaging looks entirely different. On the authentic ones, the texts are bigger and clearer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Also, look for clear, bold printing on the box. The fake ones often have blurry texts or faded logos. The green Postinor leaf logo should be sharp, not smudged.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
