SUMMARY:

This paper presents a proposal for a digital tool to prevent the consumption of counterfeit medicines, which can subsidize the development of an application to be made available to the public, in order to inform, guide, and raise awareness regarding the damage that can directly impact human health with the consumption of counterfeit medicines, aiming to reduce and even prevent it. Drug piracy is a global problem, and Brazil is among the countries that most consume pirated medicines in the world. As well as the research carried out, and the data collection that will be presented throughout this study, also reveal that Brazil is in prominence with regard to the production and trade of fake medicines, which are easily acquired by consumers in several places. With the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, the trade of counterfeit medicines has increased, including counterfeit vaccines, putting the consumer's health at risk. These drugs are produced in clandestine laboratories and their composition, expiration date, packaging, brand name, and content can be adulterated. In relation to the problem, the study presents an analysis of the damage caused to human health by the consumption of counterfeit medicines, and the economic losses to the public coffers due to the commercialization of these pirated products. The evaluation of the results points out the need for more attention to the subject, aiming at the importance of the development of technological solutions for the consumer to beware of the seriousness of consuming counterfeit medicines.
