The Institute is concerned that the general public may not fully understand the nature and extent of the international counterfeit drug problem. To provide quality information on a consistent basis, PSI shares information with the public through its collaboration with the Partnership for Safe Medicines (PSM).

 

PSM, a group of organizations with programs designed to protect consumers from counterfeit medicines, has an impressive suite of on-line tools which are highly recommended to consumers.

​

Key Consumer Tools:

​

• SafeMeds Alert System: a free e-mail service that relays counterfeit drug alerts issued by the FDA.

​

• SAFEDRUG Checklist: an 8-step guide to boost your knowledge of your medicine safety and tips on what to do if you suspect your medicine may be compromised.
