Abstract

Vitamin C has various benefits for both health and beauty. The high demand for vitamin C, especially the injection type, raises the crime potential where some individuals distribute illegal vitamin C injections. In Indonesia, vitamin C injection is categorized as a prescription drug used to treat vitamin C deficiency, and some countries have banned the use of it as a whitening agent. Illegal vitamin C injection distribution risks public health because its safety, efficacy, and quality aren’t guaranteed. This paper aims to identify types of illegal vitamin C injections circulating in Indonesia, map the distribution of illegal vitamin C injections, including the modus operandi used, and formulate recommendations to prevent its distribution in Indonesia. This research was conducted using a qualitative method with a narrative approach as well as primary and secondary data collection. As a result, some brands of illegal vitamin C injections circulating in Indonesia are Bionic White Skin, Neutro Skin, Vitamin C + Collagen, VC Injection, and Vitamin C Daehan New Pharm. According to the laboratory test, the level of vitamin C from 3 of 4 illegal vitamin C injections doesn’t meet the requirement, indicating low product quality and a chance of product counterfeiting. Some modus operandi by criminals found are sales through e-commerce, beauty clinics, and exhibitions. Influencers also have an important role in the decision made by society to use illegal vitamin C injections. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen supervision, including cyber patrols, raising awareness, tracing distribution facilities, and collaboration by various stakeholders to prevent the circulation of illegal vitamin C injections in Indonesia.

Abstract

Along with the increasing growth of e-commerce in Indonesia, it will have an impact on the increasing need for a fast and efficient logistics industry both domestically and across national borders. This increase in growth is in line with the increase in the distribution of illegal food and drugs in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia based on cyber patrol reports that conducted by Indonesian FDA. So, this analysis was prepared to determine the role of the logistics industry in the safety of drug and food distribution. In addition, this analysis was prepared to identify and provide recommendations about forms of cooperation that could be carried out between Indonesian FDA and stakeholders in the logistics industry in the scheme of prevention, tracing, and investigation of criminal acts in the field of Food and Drugs. This analysis was compiled qualitatively by conducting a literature study and seeking information through data that held by the Indonesian FDA such as law enforcement data, case susceptibility data, and the implementation data of the memorandum of agreement between Indonesian FDA and the logistics industry. Through this analysis, it is known that the logistics industry contributes to the Indonesian economy through indicators of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the transportation and warehousing sector. In addition, it is known that the circulation of illegal drugs and food by using the mode of utilizing logistics services is still occurs in Indonesia in line with the strategic role of logistics services as a delivery service provider in e-commerce or other based buying and selling transactions media. Based on this analysis, there are recommendations to intensify the collaboration and coordination between the Indonesian FDA and stakeholders in the logistics service sector to reduce the circulation of illegal drugs and food by using the mode of utilizing logistics services.
