To ensure the control of distribution chain and consequently maintain the quality and the integrity of medicinal products, many countries have established Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines. On 16^(th) July 2015, Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) announced the ''Guide to Good Distribution Practice for Medicinal Products''. TFDA started conducting GDP inspections since 1^(st) July 2016 to establish a complete supply chain management of medicinal products and ensure the quality and safety of medicinal products. TFDA has announced the manufacturers of western pharmaceuticals, dealers of western pharmaceuticals holding the drug permit license, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), or wholesaling cold chain drugs shall meet the GDP. To promoted the implementation of GDP, this study surveyed the dealers of western pharmaceuticals who hold the drug import permit license about GDP awareness before implementation. It was observed that most companies were aware that the government was promoting the implementation of GDP for medicinal products and showed positive support. However, their knowledge of keeping the transaction records was weak. TFDA will continue to promote the full implementation of GDP system in Taiwan. |
