Nails in Capsules Enterfuril Medicine?

In the Internet Messenger Whatsapp and on social networks a video appeared, in which an unknown man reveals the enterifuril packaging, removes and reveals the capsule with this drug, but nails fall out of the capsule instead of the powder. The author of the video warns everyone about the next plot.

Editorial Factcheck.kg. Checked the video and found out the following details.

The drug really exists and is produced by JSC "Bosnalek". Enterofuril – antimicrobial preparation of a wide range of action, has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect with respect to most pathogens of acute intestinal infections.

Video present. With a careful, sample view of obvious traces of the video editing was not found.

Search queries On the complaints of people for the presence of nails in this drug, or some other non-medicinal objects did not give any result.

Company with a 70-year history

The Pharmaceutical Company "Bosnalek" was founded in 1951 in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and covers 14 countries of Central and Southeast Europe, the CIS and South-West Asia. The Bosnalek production policy is built on an integrated management system subordinate to international GMP and GLP quality management standards, the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia and FDA.

Considering the history, market coverage, compliance with international standards and a fully automated system for the production and storage of drugs, talking about the desire of the company to harm the final consumer in the form of single substitutions of the drug capsules on capsules with nails, at least stupid.

Could the author independently operate the packaging and replace one capsule? Editorial Factcheck.kg just does not exclude this.

It can be assumed, that The author was able to carefully separate the foil, replace the capsule and stuck as gently . Moreover, photos were found on the Internet, as a customer was able to do it. However, according to its own recognition, only " Long years later, attempts, I did it – separated foil completely! "Nevertheless, there are no damages in the photo and there is no information, it is possible to glue the foil as neatly as on the original packaging, given that there are no small marking traces of re-gluing in the video with enterofuril.

As we see, even with the most accurate compartment of the foil, there are damage and dents that will not allow them later in factory carefully.

But how could the author replace the capsule? Everything turned out to be much easier.In the video, the author shows us only one side of the tablet plate. In case he wanted to prove 100% factory packaging, he would certainly have shown both sides. Therefore, nothing prevented him from opening the transparent front side and replacing the capsule. It is impossible to notice such a defect in the video.

Why were Enterofuril capsules chosen?

A similar package of Enterofuril contains 16 capsules, 8 in two plates. The video clearly shows that there was only one plate in the box, and this gives reason to believe that 8 tablets were used safely for their intended purpose, either by the author or his relatives or friends. If the nails had been caught earlier, the author would probably have raised the alarm, but the shabby appearance of the package is clearly visible on the video, which indicates that it has been in use for a long time and has been opened several times. Most likely, the medicine has expired and the author chose this medicine for his experiments.

Conclusion: not true. The author of the video shot a viral video, replacing the contents of the capsule with nails on his own. There is not a single confirmation that nails or other objects that could harm the human body were once found in the capsules of this drug.

We would like to draw the attention of readers to the fact that such videos systematically pop up on the Web, so it is necessary to take such information extremely critically, especially during a pandemic, when the flow of medicines has greatly increased.
