With an alarming increase of falsified medicines being detected in the European Union, the 160,000 high street pharmacists who dispense medicines across Europe are on the frontline, the last line of defence between the patient and the quality of the medicine. Pharmacists need the correct tools to be able to authenticate medicines. The new European Directive for falsified medicines marks an important and positive turning point for patient safety across the European Union.
Aegate operates a highly secure authentication and traceability service for the pharmaceutical industry, addressing the need to protect patients from counterfeit, recalled or expired medicines in line with the new legislation.
