Bought Centrum Product in Ho Chi Minh, Viet Nam. When I tried to check the label, it is not consistent with the codes in the box versus the bottle. Also, the Imprint Code of the tablet is Centrum and the other side is C | 1. Upon checking here, the imprint code is not registered/recognized.
How will you know if the multivitamins (Centrum) you bought is a counterfeit?

Doesn't the fact you were in Saigon give you a little warning? I wouldn't touch them.

I actually assume its a legit product since its anywhere in local drug stores. Would like to inquire if the imprint code (C | I) is correct, as it seems that what is recorded based on this website, no imprint code for Centrum bears a (C | I) code.

Sorry, I'm a man of little faith and communism leads to all sorts of issues with counterfeit products. I should have kept my mouth shut.

No issue. Your point is well taken. I agree that this place has many counterfeits, from bags to clothing. Not sure if they can do the same with medicines or at least with multivitamins.
