FDA has stated that RFID could help in preventing counterfeiting of drugs. IBM has realized this and has come up with a RFID system for tracking and tracing of drugs. The RFID system from IBM can track drugs through the supply chain using blended RFID software and services. This is how it works. RFID tags are attached to products at the unit, case and pallet level and each tag has a unique identifier which can be linked back to descriptive product information such as lot number, dosage and strength, manufacturer and expiry date.
Manufacturers and distributors could also improve their performance by reducing inventory costs, targeting costs and a quicker response to market demand. This system is based on the IBM WebSphere software platform and architecture which enables clients to reuse existing assets and hence build new applications faster at a low cost.

Because the RFID can be hacked there is still a risk in purchasing counterfeited drugs but it's highly reduced. It really seems like a good idea considering that the RFID system could reduce a lot of costs beginning with the manufacturers and ending with the distributors.

I strongly concur that increasing the safety and security of the nation's drug supply and protecting it from the increasing sophisticated threat of counterfeit drugs is critically important. I commend the Counterfeit Drug Task Force on their efforts to further this goal.

RFID tags are not yet secure, there is a great video on RFID hacking on http://www.yourtechtv.com
I recommend you take a look there are lots of other RFID videos there too.
