What is it about?
It can roughly be expected that ca. 10% of medicines enter the worldwide market as counterfeits. In highly developed countries, counterfeit medicines account for ca. 1% of the total controlled market. In this article, we present different instrumental techniques and chemometric methods that assist in the detection of counterfeit medicines.

Why is it important?
Counterfeit medicines pose a serious threat to public health, and therefore their detection is a priority.
Perspectives
Rapid and reliable instrumental techniques combined with efficient chemometric data analysis are very helpful in the high-throughput detection of counterfeit drugs.
