  "summary": "The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has provided various channels for Nigerians to report suspected fake, substandard, and unregistered medicines, as well as adverse reactions to drugs and other regulated medical products. Consumers can report such issues through the MedSafety app available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, or by emailing [email protected] or using the NAFDAC e-reporting platform on the agency's official website. Additionally, anyone who suspects a medical product is falsified, fake, substandard, or unregistered can report it through the NAFDAC Greenbook application, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, or through the Greenbook web platform, email at [email protected], or by calling 0800-162-3322. Lastly, consumers can verify a product's registration status on the NAFDAC Automated Product Administration and Monitoring System portal at registration.nafdac.gov.ng before relying on it.",
