Executive Summary
In the face of the ever-increasing threat from counterfeit medicines, the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket) has launched a campaign aimed at cutting off perhaps their most controversial and currently unstoppable route into the market. The agency’s latest crusade against the counterfeiting phenomenon will consist of television advertisement and a bespoke website, together with announcements in the daily press and on the internet, with the sole intention of informing the public about the dangers of buying medicines from unauthorised websites.
