The present invention aims to detect counterfeit, or imitated, or falsified, or adulterated pharmaceutical products. It discloses a method for encoding solid pharmaceutical forms, with an authentication code to verify and certify the authenticity and the origin of such products, comprising a bulk powder encoding device and a product certification process. The method produces a product signature, in the form of a unique and unambiguous IR spectrum, by adding small amounts of pharmaceutical-grade markers in each product to be certified. These pharmaceutical markers are added through a bulk encoding device suited over an industrial mixture powder. Then, along the supply chain, infrared devices read the spectrum of codified solid pharmaceutical forms and compare them with information stored in databases in order to guarantee the veracity of the information displayed in the respective packaging. It also associates a set of manufacturing data, such as batch number, manufacture date, manufacture location, expiration date, dosage of pharmaceutically active ingredient (API), and brand to each product signature/infrared spectrum. This invention is applied in solid pharmaceutical forms like tablets, capsules and powder sachets and along all the supply chain of the pharmaceutical product. |
