Counterfeit medicines pass through Finland to world markets
Counterfeit versions of patent medicines are increasingly passing through Finland on their way to the world market.
Last week, for instance, Finnish Customs confiscated a consignment of counterfeit impotence pills and diet drugs. The manufacturers of the genuine substances were notified. In the early part of the year Finish customs had confiscated about 140,000 doses of counterfeit drugs.
