Is Your Pharmacy DSCSA Ready?
The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) is a complex piece of legislation that has far-reaching implications for the pharmaceutical industry. As a pharmacy owner or manager, it's crucial to understand the requirements of the DSCSA and take steps to ensure your business is compliant.
What is the DSCSA?
The DSCSA is a federal law that was enacted to combat counterfeit drugs. It requires pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, and dispensers to track and trace prescription drugs throughout the supply chain.
Key DSCSA Requirements:
Product Tracing: Pharmacies must be able to trace prescription drugs back to their original manufacturer.
Product Verification: Pharmacies must verify the legitimacy of prescription drugs before dispensing them to patients.
Suspect and Illicit Product Reporting: Pharmacies must report any suspected or illicit products to the appropriate authorities.
How Can Pharmacies Prepare for the DSCSA?
Implement a Robust Tracking System: A reliable tracking system is essential for complying with the DSCSA. This system should be able to track and trace products throughout the supply chain.
Train Staff: All pharmacy staff should be trained on the requirements of the DSCSA and how to comply with the law.
Partner with a Technology Provider: Consider partnering with a technology provider that can help you implement a DSCSA compliance solution.
