THE International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has released a curriculum guide designed to ensure pharmacists are better able to prevent substandard or falsified (SF) medicines and medical products from reaching patients.
FIP President, Dominique Jordan, said the guide aimed to "increase and improve both education and awareness levels of pharmacists on SF medical products".
The guide aligns with the World Health Organization's (WHO) prevention-detection-response strategy ensuring pharmacists can identify high-risk products, prevent SF medications from reaching the supply chain, and reporting them to appropriate authorities.
