Drug labels for pharmaceutical companies: the importance of serialization
It is a traceability system that allows you to best organize a company's products, thus being able to constantly manage the flow of these from the warehouse.
We are talking about a useful product registration tool. Serialization works through a special code, called barcode.
The challenge lies in creating a transversal coordination plan capable of guaranteeing effective management of the large amount of drugs that circulate in our country every day, generating cost advantages.
This would allow reduce cases of counterfeit medicines which are often unfortunate events, but above all harmful for the end user.

Labels for the pharmaceutical sector: examples of Application
Each project has characteristics that differentiate them from others, for this reason at Alkam we design and create the solution that best suits the product.
The use of labels for medicines and in general all products that fall within this scope, require particular attention, as the improper use of these products can be dangerous for your health.
In fact, when it comes to products belonging to the Pharmaceutical / Parapharmaceutical sector, it is essential to have the security of labeling and therefore identifying all the bottles. Having an unidentified product is not a tolerable situation, as the improper use of these products can be particularly dangerous for your health. To guarantee this process, Alkam offers the possibility of treating the labels with a special paint, which is activated with specific ultraviolet frequencies emitted by a device which, in this way, verifies its presence. If the label is missing on the product, this system automatically discards the non-compliant bottle, eliminating the risk of marketing a product without the mandatory legal indications. Sometimes we also work on the integrity of the product: to ensure that the bottle is intact and not tampered with, the label is applied as a security seal. In this way, after the first opening, the fact that the package is no longer intact is highlighted.
Drug labels: the legislation
Labels and, more generally, drug packaging are today produced following the specific legislation of 2 August 2001, called Directive 2001/83/EC1 issued in a decree by the Minister of Health and modified in subsequent years up to Legislative Decree 17/2014.
This document establishes some fundamental rules regarding the labeling of medicines and their packaging.
First, clarity and readability are emphasized as key features. The information that a label must include is the name of the medicine, followed by the dosage and pharmaceutical form, followed by the ingredients and the dosage. Furthermore, inside the package if present or directly on the label, it must contain all the fundamental information, including the production batch and the expiry date, which must remain legible over time, including the warning "Keep the medicine out of the reach and sight of children" as well as any other special ones if necessary (contraindications caused by the interaction of the medicine with alcohol, possible danger for driving, etc.).
