To safeguard consumers from counterfeit, contaminated, or adulterated prescription drugs unfit for U.S. distribution, the U.S. Congress enacted the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) in 2013. The DSCSA ensures that all players in the pharmaceutical supply chain meet stringent DSCSA requirements for pharmacies and other entities, enhancing overall safety and security.
The DSCSA requires that every prescription drug package and homogeneous case have its own unique identifier in machine- and human-readable forms. These DSCSA pharma requirements include:
Additionally, each identifier must be stored in a 2D Datamatrix barcode, supporting electronic interoperability to trace prescription drug products across the supply chain.
Though the official DSCSA deadline for interoperability compliance—November 27, 2023—has passed, the FDA has recently introduced recent exemptions in the form of a phased implementation plan for DSCSA. During this period, it is crucial that pharmacies and other supply chain entities meet DSCSA requirements for pharmaceuticals and ensure compliance before the extended deadline. We can help..
