                    [Summary] => The Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) admitted yesterday its effort to curb fake medicines is a lopsided battle because the government lacks enough personnel to monitor the spread of counterfeit drugs in the country.


According to Nazarita Lanuza, director of BFAD Regulation Division 1, the agency only has 180 inspectors, not nearly enough to effectively monitor the entire country.


The inspectors are tasked to monitor over 27,000 drug stores, manufacturers and retail outlets or 25,000 medicines, 16,000 cosmetic products and 27,000 food products.
