Dutch doctors uncover fake Bangladesh medicineTuesday 23 September 2008 Two Dutch doctors from the Slotervaart hospital in Amsterdam appear to have stumbled on a medical scandal in Bangladesh, the Telegraaf reports on Tuesday. The doctors were carrying out research into the medicine Miltefosine which is used to treat the infectious disease Leishmaniasis (also known as black fever). But they discovered that hundreds of patients are being treated with a so-called drug without any active ingredients. The fake medicine is produced by a local factory. The Bangladesh authorities have been informed. Miltefosine is produced by German drugs firm Zentaris. © DutchNews.nl
I won't mention names nut my best Drs (some are recognised as being brilliant Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Neuro-oncologists, etc., all tell me, due to I basically being allergic to most, to keep well away from, most, synthetic drugs and stick with the natural. I now get fresh natural herbal medicines from my Huisart prescribed alternative 'apotheeks' and some rather disgusting (You mean, "Lekker!" Sir? No it's just Yuck!) but highly effective herbal teas from my, beyond Excellent, Traditional Chinese Doctor. By Gerard | September 24, 2008 9:32 AM It is a common propaganda against 3rd world manufacturers. Why these investigators are so concerned about a specific drug used in 3rd world? If they are so concerned about Bangladeshi patients then why they are not giving free service to Bangladeshi patients? At least they can send some good(!!!) medicines to save the patients. By Dr. W Islam | September 27, 2008 12:39 PM I am really surprised to know this news. I am currently working in anticounterfeit team of our company and want to more information by email.

I have read more about faked medicine from
China and India distributing in different part of the world by those "scums" and have always been afraid that our Dutch medical halls (Apotheek) will be fooled into buying some of the medicine from Asia. Please be aware that for the sake of protecting our Dutch citizens, some strictness must be imposed to prevent those scums from getting their sweet talks.
