    The Investigation & Enforcement team of the National Drug has uncovered a trove of counterfeit medicines during a raid at Tyre Village, Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.

    The operation led to the seizure of fake pharmaceuticals, including Amoxicillin 500mg, Ampiclox capsules 500mg, and packaging materials for Augmentin capsules 625mg. The facility has been placed on HOLD, and all illegal products have been evacuated.

    A statement from the agency says these counterfeit medicines estimated at over N300 million pose severe health risks, including treatment failure, organ damage, and potential carcinogenic effects due to unknown compositions.

    The suspect has been invited for questioning, and further investigations are underway.

    NAFDAC urges the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office to help combat the circulation of fake medicines.
