Pharmaceutical Serialisation – What’s Coming Down the Line?
Driven by patient health and safety, serialisation and track and trace requirements are now standard for pharmaceutical products worldwide. Legislation includes the EU’s Falsified Medicine Directive (EU FMD) and the US Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), which both necessitate serialisation through every step of the supply chain, as well as government reporting for prescription pharmaceutical products.

While the exact future of pharmaceutical serialisation remains unclear, it is undeniable that patient safety and counterfeit protection will remain of paramount concern.
