Pharmaceutical and GS1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GS1 standards enable the pharmaceutical industry to identify,<\/a> capture<\/a> and share<\/a> information about products, packages and locations along the entire value chain. They are also widely used to track products and deliveries, which contributes to greater patient safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why GS1?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consumers and patients need accurate and secure information about the products they use. And the challenge of the pharmaceutical industry is to make the supply chain as efficient, safe and sustainable as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GS1 standards for identification <\/a>have been used for many years and help identify prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, packages and much more. Pharmacies also use different types of barcodes<\/a> to be able to read goods and deliveries labeled with a barcode or 2D code. In 2019, an EU regulation started to apply that regulates that all prescription drug packaging must be labeled with the 2D barcode GS1 DataMatrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trade item information and images are shared in a seamless flow so that pharmacy chains can provide the very latest information to consumers regardless of sales channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to GS1 standards, pharmacies and their suppliers can increase traceability<\/a> in their supply chain. Increased control and secure information minimizes the risk of inaccuracies and helps the industry, for example, detect counterfeit products.<\/p>\n\n\n
