A safeguard against drug counterfeiting

Reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that approximately 10 % of all drugs sold worldwide could be counterfeits. These are oftentimes drugs with wrong dosages, incorrect or absent active ingredients. 

Ampoules Anti-Counterfeiting (AC) provide a vital tool for pharmaceutical companies to combat the potential threats and costs of drug counterfeiting, while also protecting patient health. 

During the manufacturing process, the ampoule is printed with an ink containing light-emitting particles in the shape of identification rings, OPC dots, and/or printed text. Visible only with a special reader, these markings help to retain the drug’s authenticity.
