e-Pedigree - Hey CA Board of Pharmacy: Your Time Is Running Out!

The Board just held their June 24, 2013 e-Pedigree meeting. Still a lot of ground to cover, and "time is running out," as Dirk Rodgers reports in his excellent analysis.

Hey California Board of Pharmacy: Your Time Is Running Out!:

" . . . disappointed that the only thing that happened was a brief discussion of each topic but seemingly no real action. It was almost as if the Board members and staff had made no progress . . . "

The California Pedigree Law implementation date is fast approaching . . .

Would A U.S. Federal Pedigree Law Require A New UFA?:

"NOTE: We are just about 1-1/2 years away from January 1, 2015, the first date that manufacturers must serialize some of their drugs and start drug pedigrees. From this point on, time is going to go by pretty fast for companies who are not yet ready."

Are Your Drugs Exempt From The California Pedigree Law?:

"Not all prescription drugs will need to comply with the California pedigree law on January 1, 2015 or 2016. In fact, there are a number of important exemptions that cover entire classes of certain drugs and certain types of transactions for all drugs. The volume of drug packages that could escape being serialized and pedigreed by those effective dates is not huge, but if you are a manufacturer or wholesaler, you should familiarize yourself with the list of exemptions. If you are lucky enough to make or handle any of the exempt drugs or transactions you might as well take advantage of your exemption." . . .   . . .
