Abstract

Some studies demonstrate that a large proportion of copy drugs contain lower levels of active substances and higher impurity levels than reference drugs. The number of copy drugs failing to meet internationally recognised quality criteria consequences of patients receiving lower doses of active substances than expected. In addition, possible clinical effect of impurities must be considered. Counterfeiting of drugs exhibits a significant and growing threat to human health and public safety.
