DSCSA Updates

What is DSCSA?

• The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) is a multi-step legislation that was first enacted by Congress on November 27, 2013, to achieve interoperable, electronic tracing of products at the package level to identify and trace certain prescription drugs as they are distributed in the United States.

• The DSCSA enhances the FDA’s ability to help protect consumers and patients from exposure to drugs that may be counterfeit, stolen, contaminated, or otherwise harmful.

• Any entity that purchases, distributes, dispenses or administers prescription drugs are subject to the provisions of the act.

  • First Responder Exemption can be found here.
