Consumers can report issues through the MedSafety app available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, email [email protected], or via the NAFDAC e-reporting platform on the agency's official website. Additionally, they can report suspected fake or substandard drugs through the NAFDAC Greenbook app, web platform, email at [email protected], or by calling 0800-162-3322. To verify a product's registration status, consumers can use the registration number on the NAFDAC Automated Product Administration and Monitoring System portal.
