The expiration date and the production batch number on the outer packaging of the authentic Meditoxin, they are print as a stamp alike fonts, like continuous, all the font size are the same. While the fake one looks like they are printing one by one, the font looks intermittent, font size looks a little different.

There will be a source code mark on one side of the package. The genuine two-dimensional trace source code is relatively small and marked with four lines.  While the fake Meditoxin two-dimensional code is relatively large, and the characters next to it are only three lines.

Many people dont know how to distinguish between authentic Meditoxin powder and fake one. In fact, the production technology of Meditoxin type A botulinum toxin is very similar to Botox in the United States. The purified botulinum has a foggy sensation, and the powder rarely surrounds the bottom.

The fake meditoxin came with a lot of the white freeze-dried powder on the bottom of the bottle, most of the these fakes are made in China, so technology can’t make it transparent and foggy.

Check point six: Vacuum packaging

The authentic Meditoxin is made by vacuum packaging, you can feel the obvious negative pressure in the bottle after the needle is inserted. While the fake one does not necessarily make people feel the negative pressure after the needle is inserted.

Check point seven: Color laser label

You can tell whether the Meditoxin is authentic or fake by looking at the bottle label. The authentic bottle has laser anti-counterfeiting label, while fake products usually do not have laser anti-counterfeiting, and the color reflective effect of the bottle cannot be seen. However, it should be noted that not all fakes do not have a laser anti-counterfeiting mark. Some of the new fakes may have lasers printed on the bottle. Another brand of the same manufactory called Innotox could be an alternative choice, since there is no fake ones made at the moment due to the technology of pre-mixed botulinum toxin.
