News Brief: NAFDAC Warns Nigerians Over Circulation Of Fake Postinor-2
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned the public about counterfeit batches of Postinor-2, an emergency contraceptive pill.
The agency said the fake products, which pose serious health risks, were flagged by the Society for Family Health (SFH), the licensed distributor of the original brand.
Packaging errors such as misspellings — including “Veify” instead of “Verify” and “Distnibuted in Nigeria” — distinguish the fake from the authentic product.
Counterfeit batches include:
Type 1: Batch No. T36184B (Mfg. Aug 2024, Exp. Aug 2028)
Type 2: Batch No. 332 (Mfg. Mar 2023, Exp. Feb 2027)
The genuine Postinor-2 currently in circulation is Batch No. T32458H (Mfg. Feb 2023, Exp. Feb 2027).
NAFDAC warned that the fake drugs could cause severe side effects, contraceptive failure, long-term reproductive harm, or even death.
