How to read a DRAP alert
- Spurious / falsified
- The product pretends to be something it is not. Labs often find none of the declared active ingredient.
- Substandard
- A genuine, registered product that failed a quality test, such as strength or dissolution.
- Recall (Class I–III)
- The manufacturer withdraws a batch. Class I is the most serious risk.
- Batch (B.No)
- Only the listed batches are affected. Other batches of the same brand may be genuine.

Frequently asked questions
Where does this list of fake medicines come from?
Every entry is taken from a published DRAP rapid alert or recall notice (or a news report of one), and links to its source. We do not create or infer alerts.
My medicine's brand is listed. Is my pack fake?
Only the specific batch numbers named are affected. Compare the batch (B.No) on your pack. If it matches, stop using it and return it to the pharmacy.
How often is the list updated?
We add new DRAP alerts as they are published. DRAP's own website is always the most up-to-date source. See also: Fake medicine list 2026.
What does spurious mean?
DRAP uses 'spurious' for medicines that falsely claim to be a product, often containing none of the declared active ingredient.
