ABSTRACT

Counterfeit medicine is a growing problem worldwide, with potentially serious consequences for public health. In order to combat this issue, there are various anti-counterfeiting measures that can be implemented. These measures range from simple, low-cost techniques such as labeling and packaging improvements, to more advanced technologies such as track and trace systems, holograms, and covert markers. Additionally, international collaborations and regulatory efforts are also crucial to prevent the spread of counterfeit medicines. This abstract provides an overview of the different anti-counterfeiting measures and their effectiveness in detecting and blocking the expansion of counterfeit drugs.

Keywords: Counterfeit medicine, anti-counterfeiting measures, detecting and blocking of counterfeit drugs.
