EU False Medicines Directive
Falsified Medicines Directive regulates the track and trace processes of those who manufacture, sell, or dispense medications in the European Union.
Complying with these regulations until February 2019 is obligatory, and the new tasks and the short timeframe creates some challenges to the stakeholders of the pharmaceutical industry in the EU. The main requirements involve changes in serialisation, compliance reporting, and verification. Serialisation becomes more complex, and the amount of data to be processed increases.
The strategic alliance of Antares Vision and Masterprint offer solutions to these pharma-serialisation challenges in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia – global experience and technology with local services and support.
