Pharmaceutical Serialization
Pharmaceutical serialization is the process of assigning a unique identification code to each individual package or unit of medication. This identification code allows the package to be tracked through the entire supply chain, from the manufacturer to the pharmacy or hospital. Pharmaceutical serialization has become increasingly important in recent years due to concerns about drug counterfeiting, diversion, and theft.
Medication adherence via NFC
Near Field Communication technology offers numerous benefits to the healthcare industry, particularly in improving medication adherence. By using NFC-enabled medication bottle caps, pillboxes, and smartphones, patients can receive reminders to take their medications and access helpful information.
Multi-Panel Labels
Multi-panel labels, also known as extended content labels, are becoming increasingly common in the pharmaceutical industry. These labels consist of multiple panels that can be folded out to reveal additional information about the product, such as dosage instructions, contraindications, and potential side effects. The use of multi-panel labels for pharmaceuticals is driven by a need to provide consumers with comprehensive information while also ensuring that packaging remains compact and easy to transport.
