Which means the service providers are gonna earn much more than they currently do.

Oh, and many fewer people will die of malaria.
rockerguy82Aug 23, 2010
That's correct, but I wish this service was free of cost.

Very creative use of technology too meet a very important need. I wouldn't think to use it like that, but drug authentication makes a lot of sense.

These comments suck.

But isn't this just a way of circumventing the problem that the medicine generally is way to expensive?

From my understand, the codes would be complicated enough that it wouldn't be simple to just copy them and once a code was used it wouldn't be able to be used again. I'm sure the criminals would be able to come up with some sort of code generator after awhile, but it wouldn't be 100% accurate (it never is) and after a few reports that fakes are coming from there the government would have to respond and deal with the problem.
So while there are obviouslly problems with it, if the system is supported by some type of law enforcement then it should work.
In my opinion the more problematic issue is the fact that few africans actually have cell phones...

What a misleading title.

Viagra Genuine Advantage ... I see this in our future
subductionAug 21, 2010
If you can type a text message without using your hands then it's genuine Viagra.

Buried for misleading title and you know damn well what I'm talking about.

Who would sell Africans fake drugs? I will punch them in the mouth!
scamper22Aug 21, 2010
other Africans...

The same people who would sell them into slavery, their own damn people.

I sold some fake drugs back when I was 14. Aspirin mixed with baking soda that I called cb-9. Made about 50 bucks that day.
anonymousmedicAug 22, 2010
Unfortunately, fake drugs are a major problem in the 3rd world right now. Fake antibiotics, antivirals for HIV, and fake antimalarials in these countries are big business.

What a silly article, I don't think there are any cellphone towers in Africa...

Wouldn't that require them to have phones?
worldnickAug 23, 2010
This is not a technology. It is a method. Technology is used, but having a secret code is no more technology than my method for wiping my ass.

I think it's a smart idea. But how accessible is text messaging to most of the population?
