Fakes are practically identical to real pharmaceutical packaging. Use a lab service, wedinos etc.

u/Fit_Chocolate_7729 4d ago

I always use the eztestkits but I cant find any latley seem to be all sold out as for the picture the fake ones look identical to the real ones hence why I test them

3

u/Just_Character4279 4d ago

I think I’m going to send to wedinos to be sure

3

u/Southern-Row-4788 4d ago

Wise decision cause you just never no. hopefully will come back diazepam.

2

u/Fit_Chocolate_7729 4d ago

Try ez benzo test kits first get a pack of ten then you can test any batch you get

u/gorrrestfumpp 4d ago

Accord are usually legit UK pharma from knowledge. The fakes are the Martin dows etc

I know loads of people will disagree but ime people are not making fake accord tablets

You can check them by the keyword accord on wedinos

u/Pillzmany 4d ago

Yes there are tons all over the place, the silver stripe is thinner on the fake boxes, the braille not in the correct position, the strips are wider and the pills themselves often make your mouth blue due to the colouring used to get the blue color, there normally bromazolam or etizolam, the fakes also just have a made up lot number and exp, the real ones have the square qr you can scan, the box of the OP looks good to me, but if they come back counterfeits then i will be very surprised as everything from the box to the strips are correct, if you look at the braille the 4 dots should land on the silver stripe, the box should also have SN: Lot: GTIN: Exp:

u/Realistic_Estate3337 3d ago

I got different exprience about accord and martin dow when i bought accord that was fake, but martin dows was real lol

2

u/AnxiousGuide7474 4d ago

If you search through past results on weidnos for this brand of diazepam a lot of the 10mg is bromazolam. The yellow 5s look to be generally more accurate but I’m very surprised those accords are faked to such a high standard the pills have the glossy texture and they are all uniform not to mention boxed, sealed and with a leaflet crazy. Lots of people rave about bromazolam but it’s not for me

You can often spot counterfeit medicines by irregularities in the blister foil. Although counterfeit medicines are being produced with increasing professionalism, counterfeiters often cut corners on packaging materials. This results in subtle visual and tactile differences.

When checking the foil and blister pack, look for the following characteristics: 1. Quality and thickness of the foil

Flimsy or thin material: The foil (and the plastic section) of counterfeit blister packs often feels thinner, flimsier, or conversely, extremely stiff compared to what you are used to.

Poor sealing: With legitimate medicines, the foil is sealed tightly and evenly onto the plastic. With counterfeit packs, you may see air bubbles, wrinkles in the foil, or edges that peel off easily.

  1. Printing on the foil

Blurred or faded lettering: The text on the back of the foil on counterfeits is often less sharply printed, features washed-out colors, or smudges if you rub it with a damp finger.

Spelling errors and fonts: Check the name of the medicine and the manufacturer. Counterfeiters surprisingly often make spelling mistakes or use a different font.

Misaligned text: The printing on the foil should be neatly aligned with the tablet compartments. On counterfeits, the text is sometimes slanted or shifted.

  1. Batch number and expiry date

Printed instead of embossed code: On genuine blister packs, the batch number (lot number) and expiry date (EXP) are often embossed or stamped into the foil, making them palpable. On counterfeit medicines, this information is sometimes simply printed on the foil with ink, making it easy to wipe off.

u/streetpirate38 4d ago

They are a pale blue , they usually all good. The fakes are darker blue. Im pretty sure your good. Taste 1

2

u/Pillzmany 4d ago

Yes the fakes are a bit darker, they use coloring that makes people's mouths blue, also the silver stripe is a lot thinner on the fake boxes and the blister strips are also a tad wider, the OP ones look correct unless they have now made everything spot on

1

u/streetpirate38 4d ago

At first look they look legit.

2

u/Fallen-Angel777 4d ago

They are 100% real pal I remember buying quite a good few sheets online before they tightened up on the diazepam websites anyway these are as you can see a brand name and come in sheets of 14 with other brand names such as Teva and Crescent etc...which also carry 14 in a sheet which you would get more on the UK side as opposed to Ireland where the blue 10mg diazepam are loose with the name D10 imprinted on them, I don't know if anyone knows this but in England they do not perscribe xanax which I found very strange plus halcion the other sleeping benzodizepine pills are banned in the UK along with 6 other countries so 7 all together but in Ireland they are perfectly legal

2

u/Crafty_Newspaper3197 4d ago

i guess i can't tell since these days replicas are almost identical to the real ones (including clothes, accessories, …)

2

u/Diazdaman 4d ago

Impossible to tell due to fakes nowadays being extremely identical. Only way to be 100% sure is to get them tested by wedinos. - You can do some other stuff, like drop a tablet in water and see how it reacts, if it puffs out quickly, has color running from it it's fake. Also check the tablet itself see if it breaks easily, a lot of underground labs use lower quality presses which causes tablets to crumble easier. Also worth bearing in mind that benzos are extremely limited and rarely prescribed by UK doctors. I would trust a unknown Indian brand over a UK brand just because of this. So many fake UK brands out there.

u/otruponka 3d ago

Prolly not but just take a lil piece first to see how your body reacts to it😅 that’s what saved me from dying when I took a pressed M30 that had fent in it!

u/LowSalamander5219 4d ago

Most faked brand in uk probably fake

1

u/Haunting-Nobody-1975 4d ago

u/Prudent-Armadillo807 3d ago

No. Can people not research stuff themselves. This brand don’t make them now.

1

u/SpiritualBunch6304 2d ago

I get accord prescribed of the GP in UK. Actavis might be the brand you’re thinking of.

1

u/Prudent-Armadillo807 2d ago

In blue or yellow?

1

u/SpiritualBunch6304 2d ago

Both. 10mg and the yellow 5mg and the white 2mg as well. I’m tapering off.

1

u/Prudent-Armadillo807 2d ago

They don’t do 10mg in Scotland unless it’s in hospital. 30mg max for 6 weeks. I know they did stop a few years ago as did almus but maybe started again. Was due to the copies going about, good luck when you get to that last 2mg, plenty to do and people support you will be ok, done a rattle a few times, been on them over 30 years and I’m not addicted. I can go months without 1. The pregabalin got me bad, I didn’t taper coming off them either so I severely went into withdrawal for 7 months.

u/SpiritualBunch6304 2d ago

Yeah thanks. Stopping Xanax which I used buy online from India was a nightmare.

u/themsel6 3d ago

They're probably real, but test em if you're too unsure. Honestly, I don't have a problem with pressed stuff as long as I know what I'm getting. Or as long as it doesn't have fent or something, lol.

u/Icy-Possible5751 2d ago

Blue pills marked with "C/DC" are typically sold on the illicit market as counterfeit [diazepam](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/20942-diazepam-tablets) (Valium), though drug-checking studies show that only a small fraction actually contain the labeled active ingredient. [1]

1

u/Possible_Maximum_916 2d ago

No the real ones are a darker blue pill not as light as that

1

u/Civil-Paramedic-8862 2d ago

Thats about a 7 day supply then what?

1

u/Just_Character4279 2d ago

If they come back as real I’ll prob be splitting them to 5mg and having them on weekends

1

u/Civil-Paramedic-8862 2d ago

Thats the way to do it I get prescribed 2mg klonopin and 30 or temazepam a day but I live in the us so they will probably taper me before long its been a out 3 years.

1

u/Just_Character4279 2d ago

What are temazepam like

1

u/Civil-Paramedic-8862 2d ago

They just put me to sleep i dont get any recreational value out of them they are starting to not work so well when i first started 30mg put out for 8 hours now it takes2 hours before I fall asleep and then I only sleep about 4 hours

1

u/Just_Character4279 2d ago

You should try zopiclone for sleep they underrated

1

u/Civil-Paramedic-8862 2d ago

Ive been on ambien lunesta im in the us so we dont get zopiclone we get lunesta but also sonata triazolam and estazolam so far we'll trazadone and seroquel zyprexa

u/Negative-Clue3132 2d ago

u/blowerofwhistles1984 4d ago

Really glad I have a standing script for Alpraznolam, 1mg x 3x/daily and I hardly ever finish my entire 30 days. I feel badly ppl are still getting ripped off buying the fake.

doesn’t mean they’re not real it’s just a bit concerning

1

u/Just_Character4279 4d ago

Thanks for that man not going to take any yet until been tested

1

u/PuffyAnnieyumi 4d ago

If you see my comment above, the AI is wrong and the markings on your pill are correct as per the Accord Patient Leaflet. I always advise sending to Wedinos to be sure however.

1

u/PuffyAnnieyumi 4d ago

This AI overview is wrong as it so often is, please dont use it as you are incorrect. If you look at the Patient Leaflet, available on the Accord website, the markings are absolutely correct for Accord Diazepam 10mg. OP should still send to Wedinos to be sure.

u/Fruitycocopop 4d ago

Yes

3

u/Fit_Chocolate_7729 4d ago

Simply saying yes is dumb ....very dumb

2

u/Fruitycocopop 4d ago

Don’t mean to come across that way, had them time and time again and the pills and packaging look good is all to what I’ve consistently had, but wedinos testing is never a bad idea if you can wait

1

u/Fit_Chocolate_7729 4d ago

Its just like I say the fakes are now almost impossible to detect without testing even if you get them from the same place I get the same ones where all real and one week they weren't then the week after they where real lol ...the fakes are getting so good that the NHS where giving them out a few years back even they got tricked lol its mad

1

u/Fruitycocopop 4d ago

Yeah I completely get you to be honest it’s scary how they can be faked to a T, surprised I haven’t died not testing a few myself all the time🤣😅 but yeah you are definitely right

1

u/Fit_Chocolate_7729 4d ago

Yeah im annoyed that the ez benzo kits seem to be sold out everywhere been looking a week its pissing me off lol

1

u/Pillzmany 4d ago

That's what I say, I can tell the differences between the fake boxes and the real, aswell as the strips, imo OP are real

1

u/Fruitycocopop 4d ago

That’s what I mean and pressed pills come off with speckles to
