This research focuses on the increasingly counterfeited drug, Tamiflu�. Tamiflu� is a drug prescribed for the treatment of both influenza type A and B, especially H1N1. Roche's sole ownership of Tamiflu� and the public's increasing fear of Swine Flu has caused the demand for Tamiflu� to outstrip the supply. Thus, Tamiflu� is extremely susceptible to counterfeiting. A Paper Analytical Device (PAD) has been adapted to provide an inexpensive and practical method for developing countries to identify counterfeit versions of Tamiflu�. The PAD yields fast identification of active and inactive ingredients found in Tamiflu� via colorimetric tests.
