Pharmaceutical distribution system
Pharmaceutical distribution is a set of processes and activities used to ensure that pharmaceutical products get safely and efficiently from manufacturers to points of sale or dispensing, such as pharmacies, hospitals and health centres.
It encompasses the management of storage, order preparation, transport and delivery of medicines, ensuring that they are kept in appropriate conditions of temperature, humidity and light to preserve quality, efficacy and safety. Pharmaceutical distribution companies certified in good distribution practices play a crucial role, acting as intermediaries between laboratories and points of sale.
Pharmaceutical distribution is subject to compliance with strict rules and regulations that ensure the traceability, quality and safety of medicines throughout the supply chain.
Warehousing infrastructure
