NAFDAC raised alarm on a fake postinor-2 in circulation

Postinor-2 is trending because NAFDAC raised alarm on a fake postinor-2 in circulation. But somehow Nigerians are not totally convinced.

According to NAFDAC, there are 3 types of the contraceptive in Nigeria.

1 is authentic, the other 2 were not imported by the authorized agency. Therefore, they are not authentic.

Per NAFDAC, it is not healthy for consumption because they are not aware of its contents and dosages.

Apparently, the fake one has batch number of T3B6683 and batch number 332. While the original is T32458H.

The fake one also has spelling errors like “veify” instead of “verify”.

Interestingly, both of them have a verification number, and someone who got the “fake” just used the number to check and it turned out the “fake” is NAFDAC approved. To some people, it made NAFDAC claims weak.

Actually in 2023 when Postinor trended for this same reason, we discovered that..

They are all authentic products. The two green ones; one is legally imported, the other isn’t. One went through checks, the other didn’t.

The white too is original, but from different company. Only that, it didn’t get approved for usage and it is banned in some countries, for instance, it is banned in Ghana.

However, this is not a medical advice, just explaining their existence. In summary, all three works. But only one is approved for use in Nigeria. PostPill is a good alternative.
