New research on fake medicine
In the developing world, sales of fake medicine and under-the-counter medicines are being sold for deadly diseases such as malaria. Scientists have found that 13 percent of the medicines sold in low and middle income countries are low standard or fake . If you talk about African countries, then this percentage goes to 19.

Researchers from the North Carolina University located in Chapel Hill, US, say that counterfeit drugs mean drugs that are selling with incorrect names and information. Low-level medicines are those that do not meet the prescribed standard for the treatment of any disease or are being sold even after expiry date.

Researchers tested more than 50 counterfeit and low-level drugs. During this time, they found that these fake and low-level medicines have the highest levels of malaria and antibiotics. In low and middle income countries 19 percent of malaria and 12 percent of antibiotic drugs are being sold counterfeit. University of North Carolina Associate Professor Reichiko Ojawa says that the practice of these fake and low-level medicines can be a big problem for health.
