Abstract: The magnitude of counterfeit medicines represents a serious and increasingly rising international concern. In fact, it is estimated that 10% of the pharmaceutical products sold worldwide are counterfeited. The scope of counterfeited medicines is equally worrisome since counterfeiting activities target both branded and generic products as well as non-prescription medicines to life-saving drugs. It is therefore critical for the stakeholders of different pharmaceutical supply chains to elaborate and develop effective technological strategies to combat the phenomenon of counterfeit medicines. This paper examines the effectiveness of such strategies from both the European and North American perspectives.
