Report Analysis:

Regulatory Landscape for Specialty Drug Distribution

• FDA Regulatory Requirements: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a pivotal role in regulating specialty distribution. In 2013, the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) was enacted to further safeguard the pharmaceutical supply chain. As a result, FDA has implemented numerous regulations to help trading partners build a safer and more transparent drug supply chain.
• Registration and Accreditation: Registration and accreditation are critical components of the regulatory landscape. Wholesale distributors must maintain appropriate registrations and accreditation, including special registrations for controlled substances with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and state controlled substance agencies. Additionally, organizations like the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) offer specialty accreditation, which recognizes high performance in drug handling, quality management, and regulatory compliance.
