In a 5 video series, Bayer documents the trail of fake medicines into Europe and the efforts of customs, the police and manufactures to stop these dangerous products from reaching the market.
As part of INTERPOL’s Operation Pangea- an international control action to combat the smuggling of illegal medicines – in 2013 there were 10 million seizures of counterfeit medicines across over 100 countries.
As stated by Frankfurt Airport Customs, when dealing with counterfeits:
“We observe remarkable difference in the active pharmaceutical ingredients—those products play Russian Roulette with human health.”
