## How to tell a genuine Danacid pack

- The tablets carry NAFDAC number 04-1068 and the holder's name, Dana Pharmaceuticals Limited, made in Nigeria. The suspension is a separate registration, A4-2892 — a tablet pack printed with the suspension's number, or with any other number, is not the registered product.
- The register records the tablet as 250 mg magnesium trisilicate with 120 mg dried aluminium hydroxide, sold as 12 blisters of 8 in a box or a jar of 1,000. A different strength or pack size on the carton is not what 04-1068 was registered for.
- Our October 2026 copy of the register records 04-1068 as Active, approved 27 October 2022 and running to 26 October 2027. 'Active' is the register's word for the number, not a verdict on the pack in your hand — the name, strength and holder have to match as well.
- Compare the carton with the photograph on this page. The name is spelled Danacid, with one n; the maker is Dana, not Dana-anything-else.
