Report Counterfeit Medicines

Contact the Manufacturer

​

Consumers should direct any questions or reports of suspicious pharmaceuticals to the pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Contact PSI

PSI can assist consumers if they are unsure who to contact about counterfeit drugs. If you have information about individuals or organizations involved in the production, distribution or sale of counterfeit pharmaceuticals, you can also contact PSI at Email: psi@psi-inc.org

Contact the Authorities

Consumers should notify health care agencies. For example, in the United Kingdom, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) should be contacted. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the appropriate drug regulator.

If you believe you have been given counterfeit pharmaceuticals, a crime may have been committed. In the United States, you can report this to the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, a multi-agency center run by federal law enforcement agents. Or, you can contact your local law enforcement agency.
