    Objective: In this review, the wide range of different applications of portable and miniaturized Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), near-infrared (NIR), and Raman spectrometers for quality control, assessment and inspection of pharmaceutical products are discussed. In regard to counterfeiting, these portable spectrometers are utilized for vibrational and scattering spectroscopies in the identification of counterfeits, adulterated, fraudulent, falsified and substandard pharmaceutical products which are becoming significant problems and a danger to general well-being, particularly in the developing nations. Material and Method: Different scientific articles and books were researched and reviewed to explain the applications of miniaturized and portable near infrared (NIR), Fourier transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectrometers for the inspection and control of pharmaceutical products from past to nowadays. Result and Discussion: Adulterated pharmaceutical products have become the greatest threat for developing countries. This problem can reduce the confidence for pharmaceutical products. The application of mentioned portable devices for determinations the quality control of pharmaceutical product, enables the techniques to be more accessible, quick, accurate, simple, precise, robust and more importantly, efficient.
