Falsified Medicines Directive
What's Your View?
a) Another piece of European legislation?
b) Just a Cost?
c) Imposition or Opportunity?

Another piece of European legislation?
Targeted at protecting patients from the threat of counterfeit or falsified medicines:-
Counterfeit medicines – the threat is growing
Stolen Herceptin in Italy (May 2014)
Counterfeit Aspirin in France (May 2013)
Counterfeit Omeprazole in Germany (April 2013)
Delegated Acts are being used to ensure uniformity across the EU
Ultimately the legislation will improve patient care & wellbeing

Just a Cost?
There are costs for manufacturers associated with the legislation:
Tamper Evidence
Serialisation
Authentication System
However, it will also create a digitised network connecting manufactures, wholesalers, pharmacy and patients.

Imposition or Opportunity?
The digitisation of the pharmaceutical supply chain should not be looked at as a “cost” or “unnecessary legislation”
Opportunity
Step change in Patient Safety
A lot tougher for the counterfeiter
Efficiency improvements in pharmaceutical supply chain
Closer to the pharmacist
