Duplicate Medicine: The Silent Threat to Your Health. Horrible This is Really HORRIBLE – Part 5

Transcript

00:00I bought this Vix Action 500 from a store and this other one from a pharmacy.

00:07Surprisingly there is a lot of difference between the two.

00:11So I was in a confusion as to which one is the real one and which one is the fake one.

00:17Both look similar but are not.

00:21So let's see what is the difference between the original Vix Action 500 and the duplicate

00:28one.

00:29This is the Vix Action 500 and it is written here that it is made by Procter and Gamble

00:36P&G.

00:37But it is not written here at all and surprisingly one is manufactured in 05-17 and expiry is

00:4710-18.

00:48The other one is manufactured in 2017 but the bullet expires in 2019.

00:54There is a major color difference in the packing.

00:56There is a strip here.

00:58You can see that there is a strip here.

01:01So it goes down here which is missing here.

01:05It is missing here.

01:07Now see there is something written in the red block.

01:10There is something written here and which is missing here.

01:13And the quality is very different.

01:18I am trying to cut this thing from here.

01:20Now I am trying to cut the medicine.

01:22Now when I take this thing out, the color of the medicine is blue.

01:35Now when we take this thing out, the color of the medicine is yellow.

01:42So there is a difference in the color of the medicine as well.

01:47I have tried both the medicines.

01:49I have also tried the duplicate one.

01:51I have also tried the original one.

01:53I am alive.

01:54So one thing is that one does not die by eating this.

01:57But when I had this particular one, it caused abdominal pain.

02:02Then I ate one more.

02:05Then I had one more.

02:07And it also caused abdominal pain.

02:10So the original one, this is the second strip.

02:13I used the first strip and I got a lot of relief from it.

02:17I don't know how many such duplicate medicines are in the market.

02:21This is just a small example.

02:23So I think it's time the Minister of Health and Family Welfare does something about this.
