Check catalog match, printed expiry, and whether a pharmacy publishing stock has that batch: https://t.co/1tljkWTlXA
Unmatched does not mean fake. Suspicious pack? Report anonymously. Eyes + records.
@nighealthwatch Stronger oversight at the wholesale level only works if the check continues at the Pharmacy counter: batch number and expiry date on every pack, matched to the supplier invoice the day stock arrives, so a pack can be traced back through the distribution chain.
@unltd51@PSNnational@IsicheiPounds Good to see PSN working on nutrition support. Those products are among the most sensitive on any shelf, so the basics matter: storage conditions kept, Batch numbers and expiry dates recorded on arrival, and short-dated stock used first.
@damilare_jamal Agreed, it doesn't need to be a contest. Whoever prescribes, the patient is safest when the pack handed over is in date and traceable: Batch number and expiry date checked against the supplier invoice before it reaches the shelf.
@Yekzmilano@Sniperrxv That's why what sits on the shelf matters so much. If the Pharmacy is your first stop, check the Batch number and expiry date on the pack before you leave, keep the receipt, and buy from a Pharmacy you can go back to.
Pharmacy owners: when a customer brings a pack back, check it before it goes near the shelf. Is the Batch number one you actually received? Is the expiry date still safe? Was it stored right? If you can't match it to your supplier invoice, it doesn't go back on sale.
@mobolxji@Jollz@ISWISPodcast Please do go on. People need to hear this from a supply chain pharmacist. One point listeners often miss: a genuine medicine can still harm if it is expired or badly stored. Batch number and expiry date, checked from supplier invoice to shelf, is where safety starts.
@TheActualElvis True. And being the first point of call means the shelf has to be right every time: Batch number and expiry date matched to the supplier invoice on arrival, short-dated stock sold first. That quiet work is what makes a bigger patient-care role safe.
@bobbyfressh Sorry this happened, and I hope you're recovering. Keep the pack, the receipt and the Batch number from the label. Those are what let the Pharmacy and the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) trace exactly what was dispensed and by whom.
@oma263 When you find it, check the pack before you pay: registration number, Batch number and expiry date, with the seal intact. Once it's mixed, a suspension only keeps for the days printed on its label, so ask the Pharmacist how to store it.
@Yantumakii Safer care also depends on what is on the shelf. Whoever prescribes, the patient is only as safe as the pack they receive: registered, in date, and traceable by Batch number to the supplier. That record is the Pharmacy's part of the job.
Pharmacy owners: NAFDAC's message in Ebonyi this week was simple: buy only from authorised suppliers.
Make it provable. File every supplier invoice with the Batch numbers and expiry dates it covers, so any pack on your shelf can be traced to who sold it to you.
@aproko_doctor Many of those silent conditions get their first chance at the Pharmacy counter: a blood pressure check, a question about a cough that will not go. Make a licensed Pharmacy your first stop, and keep every pack and receipt so whoever treats you next can see what you took.
@LawalObashola A pharmacist's advice is only as safe as the shelf behind it. When every pack has its Batch number and expiry date on record, what the pharmacist recommends can be traced back to its source.
@ISN_Medical The same check applies to a self-test kit: buy it sealed from a licensed Pharmacy, read the expiry date and Batch number on the box, and keep the box until you have read your result.
@BrandingSch_NG That list is exactly why the check matters — a claim nobody verified can do as much damage as the fake products themselves. Before you believe or share one, check the pack itself: registration number, batch number, expiry date — and buy from a Pharmacy you can go back to.
@Official_Isaaco A registration number is one check, not the whole check. It shows the product is registered — it does not by itself prove it works for the condition on the label. Before you pay, read the pack itself: registration number, batch number and expiry date.
@Pharmtimesng Lower registration fees mean more small makers can get their products registered — and a registration number on the pack is one of the things to check before you pay, along with the batch number and expiry date.
@Nmawundiro That decision sits with NAFDAC — what protects anyone in the meantime is the pack itself. A medicine sold loose has no batch number, no expiry date and no registration number to check, so it cannot be traced back to its source.
@GazetteNGR Warnings like this are why the pack itself matters: registration number, batch number and expiry date, checked before you pay. A pack missing any of those cannot be traced to its source — and a Pharmacy that can trace every pack is the safer place to buy.
@Uchennazi Emergency trays are the same check in miniature — every drug in the tray needs its batch number and expiry date on record, and the short-dated stock used first, so the tray is safe whenever it is opened at 1AM.
