Abstract
Counterfeit medicine is a major problem in the pharmaceutical industry that threatens public health. The fake drugs are often inefficient, toxic, and can even cause death. This chapter presents a counterfeit medicine detection system using blockchain that prevents counterfeit drugs from entering into the supply chain. The system uses blockchain to create a secure and transparent record of the entire supply chain of medicines, from manufacturer to distributor to the end consumer. It allows for real-time tracking of medicines, providing transparency and accountability at every step. Smart contracts automate the verification process, reducing the potential for human error and improving efficiency. When a medicine enters the supply chain, a smart contract is created with its unique identifier, manufacturer, and distribution details. It ensures that every medicine can be traced back to its origin, and counterfeit medicine can be easily identified and removed from the supply chain. The presented system also provides a platform for customers to verify the authenticity of their medicines.
