What should Malaysians check before buying supplements online?

Question

## Malaysians Should Verify Product Registration and Security Labels Before Purchasing Supplements Online

Accepted Answer

Malaysians should ensure that health supplements purchased online are registered with the Drug Control Authority (DCA) and bear a visible security label, known as FarmaTag, on the packaging. This mandatory hologram, in place since 2005 and rebranded as FarmaTag in September 2019, serves as a primary visual indicator of a product's authenticity and compliance with regulatory standards. Verification can be further conducted through the FarmaChecker mobile application or by checking the product's registration number on the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) website.
