Russian Pharmaceutical Firm Charged with Counterfeiting Medicine
Russia's Health and Social Development Ministry's inspection service announced today that a criminal case was opened in August against the pharmaceutical company Bryntsalov-A after the company was found to have made knock-offs of foreign medicines. The fake medications were confiscated and the company's license is being revoked. Federation Council member and Moscow region Duma deputy Igor Bryntsalov is head of Bryntsalov-A, according to Interfax.
"If a company produces fake medicines, then it will lose its license," Health and Social Development Minister Mikhail Zurabov said Monday.
According to international experts, the production of fake medicines in Russia nearly doubled in 2006.
