Increasing the safety and security of the nation's drug supply and protecting it from the ever increasing threat of counterfeit drugs is critically important. A growing number of state level regulations are requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and retailers to provide drug pedigree information at each stage of distribution. Pharmaceutical companies are responding by integrating serialized product information to track and trace drugs throughout the supply chain. As state and federal government, patient safety advocates and pharmaceutical companies all work toward improved patient safety, it is clear that RFID technology will play an important role in the solution.
