Abstract

One of the problems of pharmaceutical companies is preventing the release of counterfeit drugs to the market during the period of drug use. Counterfeit drugs are considered as a very big challenge for pharmaceuticals all over the world. Therefore, it can be said that the pharmaceutical industry suffers from lack of transparency, problem of product tracking, lack of trust and shipment of expired products. Drug tracking should be implemented in such a way that it is economical in terms of the security of the executive network and the absence of human intervention. Drug tracking in the blockchain network platform is a potential solution to create a common platform for an immutable, reliable, accountable and transparent system. In this article, using the blockchain network, the design of a smart contract on the platform of the blockchain network has been discussed and an attempt has been made to present a real model of the drug supply contract to the customers. From the results of this article, we can mention drug safety and cost reduction.
