The issue of phony or inferior medications is one that the entire world is dealing with. These inferior
medications have led to potentially fatal problems, financial losses for both the producer and the consumer,
and a decline in public confidence in the healthcare system. The issue is more serious in developing nations
where people have easy access to these medications. This problem must be addressed immediately, and

pharmaceuticals, but much more work needs to be done.
