As the European Falsified Medicines Directive (EU FMD) enforcement date draws closer, unprepared companies will most likely become reliant on outsourcing in order to achieve compliance. Time is simply too tight to be able to tackle the challenge of serialisation independently, especially since the task of complying with the new regulation has the potential to be extremely time-consuming and disruptive. However, engaging the support of a contract packaging organisation (CPO) can help to minimise these hurdles, with tried and tested lines, as well as access to expert knowledge making the process more straightforward, efficient and stress-free.
