Good Distribution Practices
GDP + GSP GDPs exist in over 20 countries, but almost all are local language versions of WHO GDPs Good Storage Practices (GSP) In the 1990 s several countries developed “Good Storage Practices” (GSP), but these have mainly been merged with Good Distribution Practices into a single guideline

Good Distribution Practices (GDP) Definition: That part of Quality Assurance that ensures that the quality of a pharmaceutical product is maintained by means of adequate control of the numerous activities which occur during the distribution process as well as providing a tool to secure the distribution system from unapproved, illegally imported, stolen, counterfeit, substandard, adulterated, and/or misbranded pharmaceutical products.
World Health Organization GDP Key Concerns: Integrity of the Supply Chain – Counterfeits Maintaining the Cold Chain Sanitation Recordkeeping
EU (GDP Guide) Country Regulations and Guidance: Continued Development Ensure storage conditions at all times controlled temperature products (15 -25 o. C) should be transported appropriately Brazil / Saudi Arabia (very similar) Electronic data logger in every shipment For import release, all incoming biological products must have temperature monitoring records showing proper storage temperatures India Constant temperature monitoring Refrigerated vans should be qualified. Qualification should be done by keeping sufficient temperature monitors to cover all parts of the van Product Serialization (at various states of progress) United States, Europe, Turkey, Brazil and India
Quality Agreements tool for communication and compliance Incorporate applicable regulation, standard, and best practice guidances Integrate competing perspectives: Product Requirements vs. Service Levels Quality Agreement specific to transport

Counterfeit Medicine A counterfeit medicine is one which is deliberately and fraudulently mislabelled with respect to identity and/or source. Counterfeiting can apply both to branded or generic products with the correct ingredients or with the wrong ingredients, without active ingredients, with insufficient active ingredients or false packaging.
Counterfeit Medicine The definition of ‘counterfeit medicinal products’ should be more clearly stated. . . Proposal: A ‘counterfeit medicinal product’ is a product that is not the medicinal product which it pretends to be. This means that every medicinal product in the market that does not comply with its Marketing Authorization is a counterfeit medicine – regardless if the non-compliance was caused by fraud, (gross) negligence or accident
Counterfeits in numbers ~100 children died in Haiti after ingestion of cough syrup containing a contaminated excipient ~ 300 killed and over 3, 000 injured in Panama after ingestion of cough syrup containing a contaminated excipient (and ~ ¼ million bottles untraced on market >10 people died in the USA after ingestion of medicinal products containing Gentamycin from non-traceable sources ~200, 000 people in China die per year caused by Counterfeits Due to budgetary restrictions one EU country reduced by about ~80% the staff of the police department focusing on Counterfeits

2007: Panama – A Tale of Gross Ineptitude
Preventable Deaths About 300 people have died in Panama, and over 3, 000 injured due to contaminated cough syrup. Deaths and injuries that could have easily been prevented by following GMPs: Purchase from audited raw material sources Purchase directly from the supplier, not through brokers Performing raw material identity and monograph testing Having effective recall traceability
The Problem Incompetent Manufacturing Lack of Governmental Controls Where Controls Exist - Lack of Effective Enforcement 40

Types of Counterfeiting a) A perfect copy of a drug with the same active ingredient and identical packaging. b) Counterfeits in packaging identical to that of a branded product. The drug usually includes the indicated active ingredient, but in insufficient quality or quantity. c) A product looks like the originator drug but contains no active ingredient. d) The counterfeit drug contains substances that are unhealthily or poisonous and leads to physical harm or death 42

Product Integrity Documentation Record Keeping
GDP Record Keeping 14. DOCUMENTATION 14. 1 SOPs and records to document all activities relating to the distribution of pharmaceutical products, including all applicable receipts and issues. 14. 2 Records should be kept by distributors of all pharmaceutical products received which contain at least the following information: date, name of the pharmaceutical product, quantity received, or supplied, name and address of the supplier. 14. 3 SOPs for the preparation, review, approval, use of and control of changes to all documents relating to the distribution process. Procedures must be in place for both internally generated documents and those from external sources. . 14. 4 Documents, and SOPs relating to any activity that could have an impact on the quality of pharmaceutical products, should be designed, completed, reviewed and distributed with care. 14. 5 The title, nature and purpose of each document should be clearly stated. The contents of documents should be clear and unambiguous. Documents should be laid out in an orderly fashion and be easy to check. 14. 6 All documents should be completed, approved, signed (as required) and dated by an appropriate authorized person(s) and should not be changed without the necessary authorization.
GDP Record Keeping 14. 7 The nature, content and retention of documentation relating to the distribution of pharmaceutical products and any investigations conducted and action taken, should comply with national legislative requirements. Where such requirements are not in place, the documents should be retained for at least one year after the expiry date of the product. 14. 8 The distributor must establish and maintain procedures for the identification, collection, indexing, retrieval, storage, maintenance, disposal of and access to all applicable documentation. 14. 9 All records must be readily retrievable, and be stored and retained using facilities that are safeguarded against unauthorized modification, damage, deterioration and/or loss of documentation. 14. 10 Documents should be reviewed regularly and kept up to date. When a document has been revised, a system should exist to prevent inadvertent use of the superseded version. 14. 11 Mechanisms should exist to allow for transfer of information, including quality or regulatory information, between a manufacturer and a customer, as well as the transfer of information to the relevant regulatory authority as required. 14. 12 Records relating to storage of pharmaceutical products should be kept and be readily available upon request in accordance with the WHO guidelines on good storage practice (1).
GDP Record Keeping 14. 13 Permanent records, written or electronic, should exist for each stored product indicating recommended storage conditions, any precautions to be observed and retest dates. Pharmacopoeial requirements and current national regulations concerning labels and containers should be respected at all times. 14 Procedures should be in place for temperature mapping, security services to prevent theft or tampering with goods at the storage facilities, destruction of unsaleable/unusable stocks and on retention of the records. 14. 15 Where the records are generated and kept in electronic form, backups should be maintained to prevent any accidental data loss.
