84 • Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
e Title II: Drug Supply Chain Security Act is intended to secure the
supply chain through mandating transaction information, transaction his-
tory, and a transaction statement for pharmaceutical drugs as they change
ownership from manufacturer to the patient or consumer. Depending
on the nal standards developed and issued by the FDA, system changes
will potentially be needed for the wholesale distributors to comply with
this law. With its razor-thin margins, any increase in costs will have to be
oset by productivity improvements or compensatory price relief.
e wholesale distributors participating in repackaging programs for
pharmacies and hospitals will have to comply with the new regulations.
