A Survey On Detection of Falsified and Substandard Drugs

A world-wide crisis to public and the consumers with high risks can be drug counterfeiting. The standardization of drug safety has become difficult and is a major concern due to the rise in the number of internet pharmacies. Since the drugs pass through difficult and complex distribution networks, it becomes difficult to detect counterfeits. Thus increasing the opportunities for falsified medicines to enter the actual supply chain. In this particular paper, we are using blockchain technology to mention data immutability to chop back the cost of operation within the pharmaceutical supply-chain hence making it safer. This is often implemented through blockchain technology which might be an allegedly immutable cryptographic ledger which has repeated sequential hashing and is fault-tolerant using a consensus algorithm by adding an alert system thus notifying when there's any fault.
