Fake Drugs has been an issue for many countries, especially poor countries, for a long period of time. Some governments do not take the issue importantly and think it is trivial. The amount of smugglers of counterfeit medicines is rising because of the lax enforcement and light punishment from the government. The fake products are not only from the smugglers but also from some big companies. Many people may have heard the case of Sanlu milk powder in China. The babies is sickened by Sanlu milk powder, even is killed.
It is not ethical for even thinking of delivering or producing such poison productions. Companies should come up with some ideas, such as, a special code onto packages, which can help consumers to indentify if it is genuine or a fake. Moreover, the governments should stand out and declare some serious punishments for doing such unethical things. The citizens pay the taxes to the government for assurance of our own safety. It is time for the governments to pay back.
