GIF decision: Marketing prohibition

What does this decision mean?

  • Zakaz wprowadzania — Selected batches are subject to a marketing prohibition — the product cannot be distributed to pharmacies.

The lack of a correct marketing authorisation number on the outer packaging makes it impossible to verify whether the product can be legally marketed in Poland and raises doubts about the authenticity of the medicine; it may mislead users, posing a threat to public health. Potential effects: inability to verify medicine authenticity, risk of using a product not compliant with its authorisation.
