The global pharmaceutical market, valued at trillions of dollars, faces relentless challenges to maintain security, transparency, and efficiency of medicine supply chains. It leads to threats to public health and loss of economy. This paper presents a Blockchain-Enhanced Cyber-Physical Ecosystem (BCE) as a transformative solution to these challenges. By integrating blockchain technology with cyber-physical systems, the proposed framework ensures end-to-end traceability, real-time monitoring, and data integrity throughout the medicine supply chain. Blockchain technology's decentralized, immutable ledger deals with transparency and security issues, and cyber-physical systems can monitor vital environmental factors such as temperature and humidity to ensure medicine integrity in real-time. This paper proposes a blockchain-based dynamic QR code generation with smart packaging and a decentralized ledger solution to increase traceability, transparency, and consumer confidence in the pharmaceutical market.
