Medicine bottle reminder to take medicine

High-tech can supervise you to take medicine at any time to help you identify genuine and fake medicines
For the majority of patients with acute symptoms, the frequency and amount of medication are not as critical, but for those with chronic infections, a miss will be drug-resistant. Therefore, taking medicine on time and on a daily basis is a top priority for them. It should be said that a new kind of medicine bottle gave them the most considerate care.

This new type of medicine bottle came from the latest development of a South African doctor. The doctor put a SIM card on the bottle. Each time the bottle opened the SIM card, it sent a message to the management center. The management center recorded the information and the doctor could use it to remotely monitor the patient's medication. If the hospital does not receive feedback during the specified period of time, the doctor or nurse at the monitoring center will immediately contact the patient through the patient's phone and remind him to take medicine. Of course, if the information in the bottle is sent multiple times in a short period of time, the monitoring personnel will timely contact the patient and ask in good faith why you have opened the bottle cap several times.

Another problem that causes headaches for patients is how to tell if counterfeit drugs are identified. Counterfeit medicines are not only unhelpful to treatment but may also delay the condition. Despite strict laws punishing this kind of behavior, the sneaky counterfeiters often buy old genuine packaging or directly use fraudulent practices to allow counterfeit products to use genuine packaging to get into the circulation market. However, the recent emergence of a new technology may make these counterfeit drug makers useless. It is called RFID identification technology.

In order to combat drug fraud and fraud more effectively, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and several large pharmaceutical plants announced that they will introduce this new type of anti-counterfeiting technology in the pharmaceutical industry and install “radio antennae” on medicine bottles through which they are launched. Radio waves can easily identify the "real identity" of the vial.

According to reports, the number of drugs made by the world’s counterfeiters is “Viagra” (Viagra). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration decided to first adopt electronic tag anti-counterfeiting technology on this drug. In addition, OxyContin, an analgesic drug that is increasingly being abused in the United States, will also be tagged electronically.

The use of electronic tag anti-counterfeiting technology in medicine can almost guarantee that it does not allow imitation of drugs. When the pharmacist receives the medicine, just take a stick and shake it on the bottle. Then you can check the history of the bottle in the online database. If the information says that the bottle is missing, or if the system does not have a record for the bottle, the bottle is considered suspicious.

Before 2007, it was up to the American drug makers to use electronic labels on their own drugs. However, since then, the relevant agencies will make compulsory regulations on which drugs must use electronic tags.
