Drug authentication using QR codes is a technology-driven solution to address issues related to counterfeit or substandard medications. Counterfeit drugs pose significant risks to public health, and implementing a system that allows consumers and healthcare professionals to verify the authenticity of medications can help mitigate these risks. Here's how drug authentication using QR codes typically works:
QR Code Generation: Each legitimate drug package is assigned a unique QR code. This code contains essential information about the drug, such as its name, manufacturer, batch number, expiration date, and a unique serial number. This information is securely stored in a database.
Packaging Integration: The QR code is printed or attached to the packaging of the drug. It should be easily scannable by common smartphones or dedicated scanners.
Verification Process:
Consumer Verification: When a patient or consumer purchases the medication, they can use a smartphone app or a dedicated QR code scanner to scan the QR code on the drug package. The app then sends a request to the database to verify the authenticity of the product.
Healthcare Professional Verification: Healthcare professionals can also use this system to ensure the authenticity of medications before administering them to patients.
Database Query: The app or scanner sends the information contained in the QR code (e.g., serial number) to a central database maintained by the pharmaceutical company, regulatory authorities, or a trusted third-party organization.
Authentication Response: The database checks the provided information against its records. If the information matches, the database returns a confirmation that the drug is authentic. This response is displayed on the user's device.
Warning for Counterfeit Drugs: If the information does not match or if the QR code has already been used, the system can issue a warning, indicating that the medication may be counterfeit or compromised.
Traceability and Reporting: The system can also record each verification attempt, creating a traceable history for each medication package. This data can be useful for tracking the movement of drugs through the supply chain and identifying patterns of counterfeiting.
