label and Packaging Serialization

Pharmaceutical Packaging Serialization

Pharmaceutical Packaging Serialization Overview

Pharmaceutical label and packaging serialization is the process of assigning a unique identifier or code to each individual unit of a drug product, as well as the outer packaging in which it is contained. This enables the product to be tracked and traced throughout the supply chain, from the manufacturer to the patient, in order to prevent counterfeit or substandard drugs from entering the market.

 

The serialization process typically involves printing a unique code, such as a serial number, on the label and outer packaging of each unit of the drug product using specialized printing equipment. This code can then be scanned or read electronically at various points in the supply chain to verify its authenticity and track its movement.

Serialization requirements vary by country and region, but many countries have implemented or are in the process of implementing regulations mandating pharmaceutical serialization. For example, the European Union’s Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) requires all prescription medicines to be serialized and verified before they can be dispensed to patients.

Implementing pharmaceutical serialization can help to improve patient safety, reduce the risk of counterfeit drugs entering the market, and increase supply chain efficiency and transparency. However, it can also require significant investment in equipment and infrastructure, as well as changes to supply chain processes and systems.
