The pharmaceutical sector is experiencing some serious problems in terms of drug mistakes and the emergence of fake medications. This study presents a powerful hybrid architecture suitable for detecting and identifying medicinal pills with high accuracy using a multi-stage deep learning framework. This research uses a dataset of 479 high-resolution data points that include different shapes, colors and pill imprints. The system combines Convolutional Neural Networks, which extract features and Transformer-based networks, which recognize sequences and patterns, resulting in improved accuracy across different lighting conditions. The software used includes Python-based deep learning libraries, specialized image augmentation frameworks and hardware-based processing units required to deliver real-time performance. The findings indicate that combining spatial and contextual information greatly reduces misidentification rates compared with single models. This mixed design offers a scalable, automated pharmacy check system and a patient-side safety app that ensure high fidelity between physical and electronic prescriptions.
