Re-packaged non-sterile and expired products
National and regional officials set regulations for repackaging products. However, individuals such as medicine wholesalers may abuse these regulations and re-package expired medicines in order to offset their losses. Alternatively, pharmacies may pay health facilities to provide expired drugs that are then repackaged and sold as new, receiving payment for dispensing them directly from a patient or from the payer.
