What is FMD or Falsified Medicines Directive?
​
This directive was introduced to stop falsified medicines or medicines that are disguised as authentic but may contain toxic ingredients or wrong dosages from entering the supply chain. The lack of quality and safety checks of these medicines pose a risk to the patients and a serious threat to global health.
The Falsified Medicines Directive (2011/62/EU) (amending Directive 2001/83/EC) or FMD introduced by the European Parliament Council was published on 1 July 2011 and applies since 2 January 2013. This directive sets measures to ensure that medicines are safe and strict rules to control its trade such as:
-
Mandatory unique identifier in the form of a 2D data matrix (barcode) and anti-tampering device (ATD) on the outer packaging of the medicines
-
A standardised EU-wide symbol to identify legal online pharmacies
-
More rigorous rules on import of active pharmaceutical ingredients
-
Reinforced requirements of record-keeping for wholesale distributors
How does FMD affect the management of medicines?
​
Since the directive requires a unique identifier (UI), prescription only medicines must have a product code that identifies its name, common name, the pharmaceutical form, strength, pack size and type, a serial and batch number, expiration date and the national reimbursement number. The UI has to be printed on the pack as a barcode and also be readable by a human.
“Manufacturers will place the safety features on the packaging of prescription only medicines and upload the data into the European repository system prior to placing the product on the market. The 2D barcode will need to be scanned at various points in the supply chain to verify that it is an ‘authentic’ medicine,” the MHRA said.
And when a medicine is supplied to a patient, the unique identifier must be scanned from the FMD system, to prevent any duplication of a legitimate identifier for use on a falsified medicine, which will be checked against data in the national repository.
