Abstract: Counterfeit medicine is a dangerous problem in Bangladesh, making the country’s healthcare system more challenging. For a developing nation like Bangladesh, finding a perfect solution to curb this problem is complex. According to the World Health Organization (2021), awareness is the key to preventing the innocent patient from taking counterfeit medicine. Due to the knowledge gap, it’s hard for patients to detect the authenticity of medicine because it requires knowledge of medicinal formulation. Physicians of Bangladesh could play a vital role in preventing this counterfeit medicine problem by establishing guidance and cooperation relationships with the patients. The study reviewed the concept of counterfeit medicine, conducted a bibliometric analysis of counterfeit medicine on the Scopus database, and provided a relationship flow diagram of prospective guidance relationship between physicians and patients. The study concluded that the physicians should offer this consultation service to the patients, and the study expected that the patient willingly accepts it for getting the safeguard against counterfeit medicine.
