Fake products in high demand
The Indonesian Anti-Counterfeiting Society (MIAP), the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) and the US Embassy have stepped up efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of counterfeit medicine and cosmetics. MIAP chairperson Widyaretna Buenastuti said such awareness was very important to stop the distribution of fake drugs and cosmetics as it could reduce the demand.
“When we reduce the demand, we automatically reduce the distribution as the producers stop producing them. This is what we will be doing so that fake products will have no place in the country,” Widyaretna said. BPOM chairman Roy Sparringa said he supported the MIAP campaign, since counterfeit drugs and cosmetics could be harmful to health and could result in death.
