Growing illicit trade and falsified medicines: a threat to your brand and your patients
According to WHO, the global sales of counterfeit medicines have risen by 90% in 5 years.
With the explosive growth of online pharmacies, e-commerce, and the increased use of postal services to ship items, criminals see an opportunity in counterfeiting pharmaceutical drugs.
These fake, substandard quality, medicines and drugs may have active ingredients in wrong dosages or a lack of active ingredients. According to the WHO, more than 1 million people die every year because of fake substandard medicines. For the drug manufacturers, the introduction of fake drugs or medical products in the supply chain could seriously damage the brand’s reputation and result in very significant problems including revenue losses.

Serialization : A first step but not enough
Many countries have put in place regulations to tackle falsified or counterfeited medicines including serialization, aggregation, traceability requirements and tamper evident systems.
But this is not enough.
One problem is that visible code can easily be attached or removed rendering the product unidentifiable. If not removed or destroyed, a code can be read easily with an online mobile app and reprinted onto a fake product. The verification system will only raise an alert when there is a duplicate serial number, so, if the fake product gets to the selling point first, there is no way of knowing if it was a fake!
More advanced and secured solutions and technologies are needed.
