‎The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has  notified the public of falsified Type 1 and 2 batches of POSTINOR 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) product in circulation.

‎Confiance News gathered from its official X handle on Tuesday.

‎ A report was received from the Society of Family Health (SFH), the MAH, which confirmed that their company did not import that product batch.

‎ It said that there are noticeable differences found in the fake brand.

“‎The font size of the text on the pin verification sticker appears smaller and has a wrong spelling of the word Veify instead of Verify on the fake; meanwhile, the text font on the sticker of the original appears bigger and more visible. There is also a wrong spelling behind the pack of the fake Distnibuted in Nigeria instead of distributed in Nigeria,” it said.

‎Postinor-2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) is a brand of emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) containing the active ingredient levonorgestrel.
