The threat of counterfeit medicines is increasing worldwide, and it creates serious risks to patient safety. In particular, many cases of medicines purchased over the internet have been found to be counterfeit. Therefore, it is necessary that pharmaceutical companies take initiatives including implementation of anti-counterfeiting technologies and working with Customs and law enforcement agencies. In Japanese medicine market, it has been traditionally considered that counterfeit medicines would not be distributed, however, the “Harvoni” case indicates it would no longer true and can be a tip of the iceberg. In this session, trend of counterfeit medicines in global market, as well as the corrective actions, would be first introduced. And then, panelists from NPO, industry and academia will discuss potential risks and necessary actions in Japanese market, in order to secure patient safety as well as medicine quality.
