Good distribution practices for medications and active ingredients

Quality in distributing medication and active principles

The process for distributing medication constitutes a complex chain involving many people and processes. The implementation of good distribution practices are highly important and valuable, as they allow for a significant reduction of potential risks associated with the distribution of medication.
