The UK is taking action to protect all UK registered medicines by 2025, but this includes prescription medicines such as medicines for pain, arthritis, and cough.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is advising consumers not to take the risk of counterfeit medicines being sold in the UK. A total of 3,858 medicines were seized in the first half of this year, including over-the-counter medicines and some fake-labelling products. This compares with 1,050 fake-labelling products seized in 2014.
The MHRA’s advice states that counterfeit medicines sold in the UK are likely to be “harmless, ineffective, harmful, or life-threatening” and are sold as “medicines containing harmful ingredients or products.” The MHRA also advises consumers to avoid the use of prescription medicines and to seek medical advice if they believe that they have been taken or are taking any medicines containing prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
Healthcare systems across the UK are still reviewing the safety of medicines sold in the country and the quality of medicines sold in the UK.
“While we remain committed to maintaining a high level of safety and efficacy for the most widely used medicines, there are concerns that the safety of medicines sold in the UK may be at risk,” said Andrew Witty, MHRA’s Head of Pharmacy Practice at The Pharmacy Institute. “We are working with the MHRA to update and investigate these concerns, as well as other regulatory action, to inform consumers and ensure there are safer alternatives.”
Counterfeit medicines are a growing concern, with medicines sold in the UK being the most counterfeited medicine in the US last year. Counterfeit medicines are produced by companies who sell counterfeit medicines in the UK, including those made in countries including China and India.
Counterfeit medicines may contain harmful ingredients, which can be harmful if used by people who have a serious medical condition such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or breathing problems. It is also possible to mix and combine counterfeit medicines with similar medicines sold in the UK.
“While counterfeit medicines are a growing concern for the UK and its citizens, the MHRA is working closely with local regulatory bodies to develop and monitor for the presence of counterfeit medicines in the country, and to identify safe and effective medicines from the list of medicines sold in the UK,” said Andrew Witty, MHRA’s Head of Pharmacy Practice at The Pharmacy Institute. “As part of the review, we will develop and monitor for the presence of these medicines and inform patients and healthcare systems to prevent and address counterfeit medicines that are sold in the UK.”
The MHRA has not received any financial support from the UK Government. These investigations are part of the ongoing review of the safety and effectiveness of medicines sold in the UK.

The dosage is based on the amount of ibuprofen a mother and infant need to take.
The aim of this work was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and renal clearance of the commonly used NSAID, ibuprofen (IBU).
The data were acquired in the form of single dose and repeated intravenous infusion at steady state using a continuous infusion unit (CIV) of 0.9% (i.e., continuous intravenous infusion) or a continuous infusion of 1.4 mg/kg (injection).
The CIV infusion volume was calculated using the formula:
V=∑Fmax/F·100×100/100
The CIV infusion volume was expressed as
where Vis the maximum CIV infusion volume, and F is the F loading rate. It can be concluded that in the study period, the CIV infusion volume and CIV infusion rate were significantly correlated (

The data were obtained by intravenous infusion (A) or repeated intravenous infusion (B). The CIV infusion volume was measured in a series of 20 mg/kg. The data were also expressed as the mean ± SD. The values were statistically significant in the different groups.
The data was also analyzed using the following formula:
where Ais the maximum CIV infusion volume, and Bis the maximum CIV infusion volume. The values were calculated using the following formula:
