You can achieve greater product security and patient protection by utilizing branding and identification technologies specifically designed to make tablets easy to recognize yet difficult to copy.  

Counterfeit protection requires a combination of unique on-tablet technologies that provide visual, electronic, forensic, and sensory identification. Through the use of these counterfeit protection technologies, Colorcon’s Brand Enhancement System for Tablets (BEST®) helps our pharmaceutical partners take a more aggressive role in assuring patient safety and mitigating the risk of adulterated product.
