The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a public warning over counterfeit batches of the cancer medications Avastin and Tecentriq circulating in Nigeria. The agency says these fake drugs pose serious health risks and could compromise treatment outcomes for patients battling cancer.
Healthcare providers, pharmacies, and patients are strongly advised to purchase medicines only from licensed and verified distributors. Any suspicious products should be reported immediately to NAFDAC for investigation. The agency also urged heightened vigilance, stressing that counterfeit medications can look identical to genuine products, making verification crucial.
