OVERVIEW

As counterfeit drugs have become more sophisticated, the risk of knock-offs reaching patients increases every year. Naturally, counterfeit drugs can harm brand and profits, but the real victims are patients, who rely on your products to maintain their health, cure illness, or even survive. Therefore, an iron-clad approach to your supply chain is warranted, and required by law. This process of tracing the path of drugs from the manufacturing line to the patient to ensure supply chain integrity is called “Serialization,” and non-compliance is not an option.

Global governments and Health Authorities have introduced laws, issued requirements and provided processes to ensure the sanctity of the pharmaceutical supply chain. In the United States, these requirements were manifested through the Drug Quality and Safety Act (DQSA). This legislation provided the legal requirements and framework by which prescription drugs must be traced through an electronic, interoperable system. Compliance deadlines are looming, and few are ready.

This certification course on serialization will provide you with the critical elements of what is required, and how to approach your specific situation to plan for compliance. Additionally, you will be presented with best practices for implementing/improving your serialization program, and recognize common pitfalls and inspection findings.
