Blockchain is a distributed technology where all the transaction made is transparent. All the transaction made in blockchain will be stored with all the network that relate to the blockchain network. Blockchain contain the concept of hash function. Hash function works like linked list it contains the address of previous node and the next node also. Hash function contain the hexadecimal value. With the implementation of blockchain technology and hyperledger framework it can be able to detect the counterfeit of drug in the early stage. If it is found in the early stage the supply of counterfeit of drug in the pharmaceutical industry like hospitals, pharmacy shops can be stopped.
