It’ no longer a secret that healthcare can be very expensive in this country. It can lead you into financial burden when you don’t have proper health insurance. One of the reasons medical treatment so expensive is the high medicine price. The manufacturers of those medicines argue that high investment to cover research to all procedures until a medicine is ready to market is the main reasons of the high priced medicines.

FDA Guidelines for Medication Guide Distribution
The e-pedigree law requires
a track and trace system for all
prescription drugs sold in California,
tracing ownership of the smallest
saleable unit of each prescription
drug from manufacturer to dispenser.
The pedigree must be initiated by
the manufacturer and electronically
appended at every change in ownership
by wholesalers, pharmacies or other
dispensers. The law was based on a
2004 report of the FDA’s Counterfeit
Drug Task Force which had been
formed to establish a federal level
solution to safeguard the nation’s
prescription drugs. This report
recommended a system that would
electronically identify each product as
it moved through the supply chain. A
unique number was to be placed on
the saleable unit by the manufacturer
that could be electronically read. An
interoperable computer system would
allow the e-pedigree to be appended
at each sale with required elements,
including a statement by the seller that
it is selling the unit to a specific buyer,
and a corresponding statement from
the buyer that it is buying the product
from the specific seller. This creates a
locked chain of custody of the product,
electronically tracing all owners back
to the manufacturer.
