What is pharmaceutical serialization?

Pharmaceutical serialization is the process of assigning unique identifiers, such as serial numbers, to each saleable unit of a pharmaceutical product. This system is designed to track and trace drugs throughout the supply chain, helping to combat counterfeit medicines and ensure regulatory compliance. Serialization allows manufacturers, wholesalers, and pharmacists to verify the authenticity of products, improve inventory management, and enhance patient safety. Full time pharmaceutical serialization professionals are responsible for implementing and maintaining these systems within pharmaceutical companies.
