Description:
We are experiencing many shortages in critical drug products. This may lead pharmacy staff seek out and purchase products from new suppliers. Expensive specialty products and products in short supply have given rise to many suppliers obtaining products
outside the supply chain. This has increasingly resulted in counterfeit, contraband, diverted and adulterated products. When product integrity may have been compromised, you are putting your patients at risk. This presentation will give you a brief
overview on the issues, how to authenticate vendors and the products you receive, and alternative sourcing from an Outsourcing Facility.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, pharmacists should be able to:
- Discuss drug shortages, sources and strategies to procure drug products.
- Describe the DSCSA, and how it protects drug product integrity and security.
- Identify how to verify and authenticate wholesale drug distributors.
