| dc.description.abstract | Since the beginning of pharmaceutical
products and drugs, counterfeiting has been a
worldwide issue. Packed with minimal punishment,
illegal internet sales and unsecured physical
packaging, it has grown into an estimate market
worth of over 75 billion dollars annually which
represents a total of 5.8 percent loss to
pharmaceutical companies. Even though 80 percent
of the counterfeiting comes from overseas,
Pharmaceutical Companies and worldwide
Governments believe that counterfeiting can be
reduced by implementing product serialization.
This method has the potential to track and traced
the product through the entire supply chain by
uniquely identifying serial numbers, batch records,
manufacturing and expiration dates. The ultimate
goal for Pharmaceutical companies will be to trace
the product lifecycle from production, distribution,
and finally to the patient.
