Recently, a unit of fake Ozempic was found in an Arkansas pharmacy and identified as fake using a new tool from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, Pulse.

What does a patient, who received a counterfeit twenty five years ago, think about this magical decoder ring that can detect counterfeits in an instant today?

How does Pulse by NABP, that detected the fake Ozempic in the Arkansas pharmacy, actually work behind the scenes? What technical issues had to be overcome to get it to work?

PSM Executive Director Shabbir Imber Safdar gathers one veteran patient advocate and two of the leaders who helped build Pulse by NABP to explain all these issues and more.

Guests:

  • Rick Roberts, Counterfeit medicine survivor and PSM Board member
  • Josh Bolin, Associate Executive Director, NABP
  • Mark Karhoff, Principle, Tencount Consulting
