Counterfeit Drugs
Counterfeit Drugs
• Counterfeit goods are duplicate items, typically of inferior quality and deliberately made to look genuine.
Counterfeit products are often produced with the intent to take advantage of the superior value of the
imitated product.
Impact of
Counterfeit Drugs
• Ultimate Victim is consumer
• Inferior quality
• Health
• Safety Concerns
• Loss of consumer and public trust
• Brand Damage
• Ineffective product recall and return
logistics
• Government lose out on unpaid taxes
Introduction to Serialization
• Serialization means to make each unit unique by printing a unique identifier on each item. An item identifier is
a Data matrix code which contains product information. Product information includes GTIN paired with serial
number, batch number, product description etc.
Business Benefits
• Product traceability in complex global
supply chain logistics efficiency
• Legal compliance with national, regional or
global regulations
• Greater revenue share by reducing the
“Gray Market” activity
• Trace data on every single unit, resulting to
visibility to most granular level.
• Fast and efficient reverse logistics or recall
processes
• Better product authentication and integrity

GS1 Standards
• GS1 is an organization dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards for use in supply
chain
• GS1 standards are an agreement that structures any activity or any industry. This may be rules or
guidelines.
• GS1 provides identification keys to identify goods, locations etc. worldwide.
• It is the most widely used supply chain standards in the world.
• GS1 standards include GCP, GLN, GTIN, SSCC.
GS1 Glossary
• Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
The GTIN is a unique identification key that can be used globally to identify the item. It may be produced as a GS1 bar code or held
in a GS1 EPC tag.

• Other Identifiers:
(00)6756453465787654575 - SSCC
EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services)
• It stands for Electronic Product Code Information System.
• It’s a GS1 standard that is used to share information with supply chain
partners.
