NAFDAC Warns Against Counterfeit Phesgo® 600mg/600mg/10ml Injection

Lagos, Nigeria – The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a public alert regarding counterfeit Phesgo® 600mg/600mg/10ml injection labelled with batch number C5290S20, falsely stated to be manufactured by Roche S.P.A.

The warning follows a complaint from a Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH-NSIA) doctor about the suspected counterfeit product presented by a patient.

Roche, the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH), reviewed the product’s images and confirmed it as counterfeit due to discrepancies, including:

  • Non-existent batch number in Roche’s database.
  • Language inconsistencies.
  • Incorrect tamper evidence labels and missing safety features.

No physical sample was available for chemical analysis.
