Release Date: 2009-04-23

"The data presented this morning by Censis on counterfeiting of medicines confirms the repeated supporte of Farmindustria. Thanks to increasingly strict controls by the competent authorities throughout the life cycle of the drug, the phenomenon of counterfeiting of medicines in Italy on official channels is almost absent. A guarantee of health for the people even though certainly the "guard" can not be lowered. Worldwide the problem is, in fact, trade over the internet because even for drugs, there is no guarantee of security and authenticity for the products purchased via the web. Unfortunately, at present, the tools available to fight the problem are still insufficient. An increasing focus on controls and the trust relationship with national pharmacies may discourage the use of online shopping. Farmindustria in Italy, together with the institutions and actors of the industry continues to demand more attention throughout the health system may be the phenomena of abuse against citizens of the State and the companies themselves.
