CA To Amend Track-and-Trace Law re: ‘Drop Shipments’

California to amend track-and-trace law to deal with ‘drop shipments’:

"The proposal specifies that in the case of a drop shipment, the manufacturer would “omit data elements from the pedigree showing transfers of ownership to and from the wholesale distributor, including any certifications of receipt and delivery of the drug by the wholesaler.”

The electronic pedigree, however, would need to be “conveyed directly from the manufacturer to the authorized purchaser prior to or contemporaneously with the delivery” of the drug, according to the board."

Alert - Individuals Posing as Delivery Driver or Cardinal Health Employees - California Society of Health-System Pharmacists:

"In recent days, Cardinal Health has been notified by a number of customers in the Los Angeles area that an individual has presented himself as a Cardinal Health employee. The individual has attempted to enter pharmacies by announcing that a new Cardinal Health policy has been put in place that will provide our customers a refrigerator for the storage of cold chain packaging that needs to be returned. On one known occasion, the individual was allowed into the controlled area of a pharmacy to study a possible location for the refrigerator."

House Version of Compounding Legislation Emerges, Contrasts With Senate Approach

House Version of Compounding Legislation Emerges, Contrasting Sharply With Senate Approach:

"Now legislators will be tasked with negotiating out differences in their legislative approaches. The PQSA is significantly more rigorous toward the compounding industry than the Compounding Clarity Act, and also includes track and trace legislative measures. The significant differences and approaches between the two pieces of legislation mean it could be months before any legislation stands a chance of reaching President Barack Obama's desk."

The US House Finally Introduces A Compounding Pharmacy Bill | Pharmalot

The US House Finally Introduces A Compounding Pharmacy Bill | Pharmalot:

"A long-awaited compounding pharmacy bill from the US House of Representatives has finally been introduced and, like a Senate bill introduced earlier this year, offers greater authority to the FDA. But while a key organization representing pharmacists is backing the effort, consumer advocacy groups remain concerned that both bills create loopholes that may create dangers for patients."
