Apart from that, the regulatory being controlled by the Drug Control Authority, the Pharmacy Enforcement Division and the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau including their roles in Pre and Post Marketing Surveillance, the use of Adulterated Database and also the new safety feature using distinct Hologram for registered products in Malaysia are clearly identified. Certain provisions in the Poison Act 1952, the Sales of Drugs Act 1952 and the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulation 1984, need to be reviewed to accommodate with the current situation.
