Abstract: In our olden days the population is less and also, because of their healthy habits and good environmental conditions they were less prone to diseases. But day by day in our Indian population the number of patients that were suffering from different diseases is increasing. For those diseases the valuable medicine were discovering by researchers and scientists. But by taking the advantage of the human weakness about their health some of the companies were introducing fake medicines into the market with least cost and also sometimes duplicating the original medicine names. So, that because of those illegal and improper medicine usages causes the patients to lose their valuable lives. In some cases there may not be any expiry date. For this reason also there may be a chance of getting negative results with side effects. Another issue is in olden days because of illiteracy they are not interested to know about their medication. Later by 20th century situation has changed. Due to the drastic increase in literature people are interested to know more details about their medication. As one of the solution to this we introduce a new method of placing a Bluetooth module on the medicine bottle and the entire information about the medicine along with manufactured date and expiry date and about manufacturer that whether the manufacturer has certified under regulators etc... will be presented to the consumer through an android interface. This proposed system can be used to send feedback to the manufacturer and also it can be used to set reminder to take particular dosage of particular medicine for particular interval of time.

Keywords: Medicine bottle, Medicine Details, Fake Medicine control, Bluetooth, Smart Phone, Reminder, Android and App.
