Quality of omeprazole purchased via the Internet and personally imported into Japan: comparison with products sampled in other Asian countries.

However, omeprazole formulations distributed in different market segments by the same manufacturers were of diverse quality. Measures are needed to ensure consistent quality of products and to prevent entry of substandard products into the legitimate supply chain.
