In a move to combat counterfeit drugs, Pfizer has announced that it will start including RFID tags in genuine Viagra packaging.
The world’s biggest drugmaker said the new technology, which is difficult and costly to duplicate, would create barriers “for criminals who might attempt to counterfeit our products.”
Pfizer has previously also opposed illegal imports of authentic Viagra into the United States, where they can be sold at steeply discounted rates, but said the new technology is not designed to block such imports.
