In today's society, the problem of counterfeit drugs has become a serious threat to public health and safety. Fighting against counterfeit drugs requires not only legal constraints and strict law enforcement by regulatory authorities, but also international cooperation and the improvement of public awareness.

International cooperation plays a vital role in combating counterfeit drugs. Different countries can share information, technology and experience to form a strong synergy. For example, by establishing an international drug regulatory alliance, countries can timely exchange the latest developments and characteristics of counterfeit drugs, thereby improving the efficiency of prevention and combating. At the same time, international cooperation can also promote the joint development and promotion of drug testing technology, making it more difficult for counterfeit drugs to escape the "eagle eyes" of detection.

Raising public awareness is also an important part of combating counterfeit drugs. Only when the public fully understands the harm of counterfeit drugs and masters the methods to identify counterfeit drugs can the market demand for counterfeit drugs be reduced from the source. This requires widespread publicity and education activities, such as public service advertisements and community lectures, to popularize knowledge about counterfeit drugs to the public.

However, the driving force of technology cannot be ignored. Advanced information technology makes international information exchange more convenient and efficient. Big data analysis can help regulatory authorities accurately monitor the distribution channels and market trends of counterfeit drugs. The application of artificial intelligence technology in drug testing has greatly improved the accuracy and efficiency of testing.

Take drug detection technology as an example. Traditional detection methods often rely on chemical analysis and laboratory testing, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but may not accurately identify some new types of counterfeit drugs. Nowadays, with the help of artificial intelligence technology, through learning and training a large number of images, ingredients and other data of real and fake drugs, the detection system can quickly and accurately determine the authenticity of drugs. The application of this technology not only improves the efficiency of detection, but also reduces the cost of detection, providing strong technical support for combating counterfeit drugs.

In addition, blockchain technology has also shown great potential in drug traceability. Through the immutability and traceability of blockchain, the entire process of each batch of drugs from production, transportation to sales can be clearly recorded and tracked. Once counterfeit drugs are found, the problem link can be quickly located and corresponding measures can be taken.

In terms of information dissemination, the development of the Internet and mobile technology has made it easier for the public to obtain information about counterfeit drugs. Various online medical platforms and health apps provide the public with a channel to obtain authoritative drug knowledge, which helps to raise the public's awareness of prevention.

In summary, the key measures to combat counterfeit drugs - strengthening international cooperation and raising public awareness - cannot be separated from the strong support of technology. In the future, with the continuous innovation and development of technology, we are expected to achieve more significant results in combating counterfeit drugs and protect the health and safety of the public.
