Counterfeiting
This last type of product covered by ANSM is a pharmaceutical specialty. Whether brand name or generic, these are drugs that are not reviewed by the health administration for evaluation and inspection and are then sold outside the mainstream legal market. These types of counterfeit drugs are often sold online.
The pharmaceutical industry is doing its part to find a solution. According to the World Health Organization, the circumstances are alarming. Nearly 10% of all drugs available for sale on the global market are counterfeit.
traceability
The weight of each of these sectors is what determines all technological and structural advancements.
Let’s not forget that traceability is also an effective means of fighting counterfeiting, fraud, forgery, and the diversion of commercial markets, known as parallel or black markets.
France is the main victim. Other European countries such as Germany and England buy large quantities of drugs through French platforms to resell them at a higher price through their own market.
These practices destabilize the market and create shortages of product. The traceability market is booming with annual growth of +15% over the past 4 years and is expected to continue to grow in the years to come. Medication must be safe, stable, and effective throughout the duration of its lifecycle until the very last step: patient intake.
To ensure this, a safety management system was founded and required by the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), the fundamental production reference for the pharmaceutical industry.
Cross contamination is the contamination of one product by another. This can have extreme altering effects on the quality of a medication and must therefore be properly managed. Cross contamination can happen at any stage of the production process, making it a critical and challenging problem for pharmaceutical companies to face.
Unit traceability is essential for identifying products that don’t meet GMP standards. Batch traceability forces manufacturers to destroy entire lots of product even if only a portion are faulty. This creates considerable financial loss and damages.
