Firms Warn Against Counterfeit Herbal Capsule Products

Firms Pure Eve Ltd and GuduGudu Herbal Worldwide Enterprise are cautioning consumers against counterfeit versions of their herbal product Menofix currently available in the market. In a joint statement, the companies emphasized that the officially recognized name of their product is Menofix Herbal Capsule, not just “Menofix”. Going forward, they will exclusively use the full name Menofix herbal capsule, as certified and registered by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

The product is registered under registration number A7-103321L, issued to Pure Eve manufacturer, GuduGudu Herbal Worldwide Enterprise.

Peter Oriri, Head of Corporate Communications, urged consumers to verify the full product name and packaging before purchasing. He expressed gratitude to NAFDAC for its efforts in raising awareness about the fake Menofix circulating in the market. The companies have engaged the leadership of the Idumota open drug market in Lagos and held meetings with the chairman of drug marketers as part of their efforts to curb the distribution of counterfeit products.

They intend to continue monitoring the market and collaborating with relevant stakeholders to safeguard consumers.

Oriri announced plans to introduce a verification sticker on the product, which consumers can scan to confirm its authenticity. The companies also expressed gratitude to their customers for their feedback and continued support, reiterating their commitment to product safety and regulatory compliance. They encouraged consumers to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspected counterfeit products to the relevant regulatory authorities.
