Abstract
The menace of counterfeiting pharmaceuticals/drugs has become a major threat to consumers, healthcare providers, drug manufacturers and governments. It is a source of public health concern both in the developed and developing nations. Several solutions for detecting and authenticating counterfeit drugs have been adopted by different nations of the world. In this article, a dialogue-based solution is proposed. This solution is premised on the continuous increase in the usage of telephones, especially mobile phones in all parts of the world. The approach will provide a cost-effective, ubiquitous, anywhere and anytime means of authenticating the genuineness of pharmaceuticals in addition to complimenting the existing systems.
