At the same time, scan the medicine which has a QR code, after which you will get complete information about the medicine and you will be able to know whether it is real or fake. This QR code is an advanced version whose information is released from the Central Database Agency. This QR code is changed with every medicine, due to which it is difficult to create a fake QR code or copy it.

Also keep these things in mind:-
Whenever you buy medicines, buy them from a trusted shop or you can buy medicines from a government medical store.
Instead of buying medicines online from any app or website, always buy them from a trusted place etc.
