  • Completion of the project regarding the control of anti-tampering devices (ATD) on medicinal product packages

    | 12 September 2024 |

    The Danish Medicines Agency's laboratory has completed a project in which the anti-tampering device (ATD) on random samples of selected medicinal product packages has been checked. Approx. 10% of the packages requisitioned had an ATD that did not work. The flawed devices are designed as a sticker, that can be removed without it being visible on the packaging. We encourage marketing authorisation holders (MAH) to test their ATDs to prevent unauthorised access to the medicinal products without tamper evidence.
