What is the ITS Drug Tracking System? How does it work?
What is the ITS drug tracking system?
The Pharmaceutical Tracking System (ITS) is a system that tracks prescription, non-prescription and food supplement medicines
from the manufacturing stage until they reach the end user, that is, our homes.
This means that the steps in each subsequent stage of the products whose production is completed are monitored, in which
warehouse they are entered and exited, which overseas companies they are sent to, which hospitals, pharmacies
and reimbursement institutions they go to, and ensures that they reach
the patients in need.
How does the ITS drug tracking system work?
To ensure this tracking, 2D Data Matrix codes are printed on the medicine boxes with Thermal inkjet Coding, Continuous inkjet
coding, and Laser marking devices. This special barcode
system can store much more information than standard single-line barcodes. Products with barcodes scanned after manufacturing
are registered to the ITS system once and then this system can be easily tracked via
. The ITS, which is a very large database, provides a great deal of support to the relevant institutions and authorities in evaluating, keeping statistics and making decisions
after the drug tracking system base
