We care about Latvian patients by protecting from falsified medicine
About LZVO
The purpose of the medicine verification system is to prevent the threat of falsified medicines being supplied through legitimate distribution channels to consumers. It is a new system to check the authenticity of medicines being distributed in all European countries. Pharmaceutical manufacturers label packaging with a special barcode containing unique identifiers and enter it into the European database. Details of the unique identifiers from each pack are stored in a national database. Wholesalers verify the authenticity of medicines and supply it to the system end users. Pharmacies and healthcare institutions decommission the unique identifier from the national database before they are supplied to patients.
