Securing pharmaceutical supply chain using digital drug serialization

Abstract

The supply chain process is a very critical process in the pharmaceutical industry, and through digital drug serialization, we can mitigate the risk of counterfeit drug supply and counter the risk of consumers consuming fake drugs. To deliver medicines free of counterfeiting, the pharmaceutical supply chain's integrity must be preserved. In this article, we have focused on how we may employ digital drug serialization in the pharmaceutical supply chain without harming the public's health. Even though pharmaceutical corporations are working hard to combat medication fraud, it is still a persistent and complicated problem in the drug supply chain that costs the pharmaceutical business money and negatively affects patient health. To solve this issue, pharmaceutical companies are implementing a significant digital transformation in the pharmaceutical supply chain by integrating digital traceability and track-and-trace technologies from the initial raw material supplier to the patient.
