SoteriaRx™
On-Dose Authentication Technology Platform
Counterfeit drugs are a major problem for the pharmaceutical industry, both in terms of financial impact and patient safety impact. Current traceability and security measures focused at the packaging level are not enough to deter fraud. The digitalization of medicines represents a major step forward in the fight against unauthorized and illegitimate pharmaceutical production and provides an opportunity to safeguard patients. Colorcon is offering a unique and innovative solution to address the significant patient safety issues, and is the first company to incorporate microtags into solid dosage film coatings.
SoteriaRx™ on-dose authentication provides a powerful tool for tracking medicines from plant to patient and provides a level of supply chain authenticity and transparency not previously available. By incorporating microtags, the pill itself effectively becomes a barcode which can be digitally read and recorded, providing instant authentication.
Find out more about how SoteriaRx™ can help brand owners implement smarter medicines and mitigate the risks of drug counterfeiting and product diversion.
