The Processes Involved in Pharmaceutical Logistics

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most profitable industries working around the world comprising of some great and efficient pharmacy engineers creating medicine for our survival. Every day, there are new inventions in the field of medicine production, and the quantity the factories produce is unimaginable. Everybody talks about the invention of medicine and the advancements in the production of medicines, but nobody knows how important the role is of pharmaceutical logistics.

What exactly is pharmaceutical logistics?

Pharmaceutical logistics is the term given to the entire procedure of medicine manufacturing and delivering it until it gets sold. Pharmaceutical logistics deals with the creation of medicine, manufacturing them in the factories, packaging them, verifying the packaging, transporting them to the market from where pharmaceutical shops or drugstores collect them to sell to the patients. There are a many number of steps involved in this process that are quite complicated during the manufacturing process. The first process is to manufacture the particular medicine that is either newly invented or has been there, which needs to be manufactured. The pharmaceutical engineers get the patent or details of how to make them first and then the manufacturing procedure is initiated. The factories consist of a huge number of machines that work efficiently as computers control most of them, these machines mix up all the components needed to be present in the medicine and ultimately produce the medicines in abundance. Next, these are packaged into files or strips if they are tablets or capsules and so on according to the requirements. These products are machine-oriented. After packaging, all the details including the ingredient list, expiry and manufacturing dates are printed on the packaging of the medicines.

Next comes the complete packaging of all the medicines manufactured. This is an extensive process and keeping in mind how many the medicines will travel and what sort of medicine it is, they are being packed in boxes. Special care is given towards liquid drugs or suspensions so that there is no separation of liquids in the bottles due to the travelling and jerking inside the vehicles. Before dispatching the boxes, they are scanned and checked and loaded on cooling vehicles to retain their medical value until they reach their destinations. There a lot of intermediaries involved in this process, which eventually increases the prices of the medicines to a huge extent. These middlemen are not necessary, and medicine sellers have been requesting to remove every sort of mediators involved in the dispatching to make the delivery swifter as well as pocket-friendly.

Finally, the medicines reach their destinations that are either hospitals or markets from where every pharmacy shop owner collects their supplies to sell and take them to their dispensaries. From there, patients and people get access to these medicines finally. There many ways by which all the disputes associated with pharmaceutical logistics can be solved, but no one seems to take much of an initiative. If these drawbacks are somehow omitted from the system, then the production rate will enhance to a considerable extent.
