How to Identify Fake and Inferior Veterinary Drugs? A Detailed Guide to Common Identification Methods

As science and technology continue to advance, the rapid development of drugs has also allowed some counterfeit and inferior veterinary drugs to enter the market. To protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmers and ensure the healthy development of breeding, let us take a look at the common methods for identifying fake and inferior veterinary drugs.

I. Pay attention to the packaging

Genuine products generally have clearly printed fonts on the packaging, while counterfeit products do not. The outer packaging of veterinary drugs must be printed with a label and indicate the words "veterinary drug". A package insert, certificate of conformity, etc. should be included inside the bag, and it should be kept sealed.

II. Check the label

The label must be printed with the name of the veterinary drug, specifications, manufacturer name and address, registered trademark, production batch number, approval number, main ingredients, usage and dosage, storage method, shelf life, precautions, etc.

III. Look for anti-counterfeiting marks

Genuine products generally have anti-counterfeiting marks, while counterfeit products do not.

IV. Check the shelf life

The approval number for veterinary drugs is generally valid for 5 years, and it is renewed every 5 years. Antibacterial injections and similar products are exceptions.

V. Observe the color

The color should be consistent, and the size should be uniform

VI. Check the weight and quality

Genuine manufacturers all have very standardized quality, and there will not be much error in weight, while fake and inferior products are not like this.

The above six points are the common methods for identifying fake and inferior veterinary drugs. We hope farmers will pay more attention when purchasing veterinary drugs. If fake and inferior veterinary drugs are purchased, they will have no effect at all in treatment and may even have adverse effects.
