Until a few years ago, drug product counterfeiting was exclusively found in lesser developed countries, but with the sharp increase in drug prices in the USA and Western Europe, the practice has become more widespread.
This audio conference discusses how these drugs come into the country, and what can be done to identify and combat the practice. Our speaker examines the anti-counterfeiting strategies used in other industries where there is a lengthier history of this type of crime, industries such as finance, fine art, airplane parts and gemstones. Attendees gain an understanding of the nature and extent of the problem, and hear what is known and suspected regarding sources of counterfeits, and ways to prevent this criminal behavior. The speaker also discusses substandard products, a separate, but closely related problem around the world.
