Pharmacy Board warns of fake P2 circulating in Kenya

[File, Standard] The Pharmacy and Poisons Board has warned the public against a fake batch of Postinor-2 (P2) tablets circulating in the Kenyan market.

However, according to the Board, a comparison with genuine Postinor-2 supplied by Gedeon Richter Plc revealed several differences, including the batch printing method, the patient information leaflet and the sealing of the carton.

Procurement agencies, hospitals, distributors, pharmacists, pharmaceutical technologists and members of the public have also been urged to report any encounter with the falsified Postinor-2 batch T34197R.
