Safe, Effective, Transparent:
Revolutionizing Drug Safety with DrugXafe
DrugXafe ensures drug authenticity by tracking and tracing pharmaceuticals at every stage of the supply chain with a unique electronic product code, from production or importation to consumption. This innovative technology effectively combats counterfeit drugs and ensures drug safety and efficacy.
Features
Serialization with 2D Data Matrix
The 2D Data Matrix data printed on the box of each drug produced or imported uniqueizes each drug box. Serving as a solid barrier against the infiltration of counterfeit drugs into the market, this barcode contains the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), Serialization Number (SN), Expiration Date (XD) and Batch Number (BN) information of drugs. This innovative approach ensures the authenticity and safety of drugs.
Clean Supply Chain
Assigning a unique 2D Data Matrix code to every drug box effectively serializes each box. DrugXafe meticulously records the journey of every drug, from the producer and importer to the patient, across all stages. This comprehensive tracking mechanism effectively prevents the infiltration of counterfeit drugs into the supply chain, ensuring its integrity and cleanliness. Through this process, DrugXafe contributes significantly to safeguarding public health by guaranteeing that only genuine, safe medications reach consumers.
Reimbursement and Insurance Process Enhancement, Fraud Prevention
The unique barcode assigned to each drug, prevents duplicate demand for the same drug, ensuring that a drug cannot be reimbursed more than once. DrugXafe enhances the detection of reimbursement fraud by tracking drug production, sales, costs and returns data. There is no need for physical barcode submissions to insurance bodies, streamlining the reimbursement process and further safeguarding against fraud.
Data Management Capabilities
The data management capabilities, one of the most important features of the Pharmaceutical Track and Trace System, enable health authorities and managers to develop analyses, reports, policy recommendations and insights to enhance the drug ecosystem. As a result, significant national health system gains such as creating disease maps, managing drug stocks, implementing applications that can respond urgently to pandemic needs and developing rational drug use practices are achieved.
Stock Management
With DrugXafe's robust track and trace system, effective stock management of pharmaceuticals is ensured. This system provides real-time oversight, allowing for precise inventory control. By continuously monitoring and tracking pharmaceuticals, DrugXafe ensures that pharmacies and healthcare providers are always aware of their stock levels, enabling efficient and responsive management of medication supplies, thereby enhancing patient safety and preventing shortages.
Detection of Parallel Trade
The Pharmaceutical Track and Trace System provides a stable domestic supply through tracing and tracking capabilities that can detect illegal parallel trade exploiting differences in drug sale prices between countries. This system tracks all drug imports and exports to prevent illegal sales and maintains a balance, keeping essential medications readily available and unaffected by the fluctuating demands of external trade.
Tracks the Side Effects of Medicines
DrugXafe enables patients to report drug side effects directly into the system via the DrugXafe Mobile App, creating a vital database for health monitoring. Health authorities like the Ministry of Health and Pharma Regulators analyze this data to detect drugs with significant adverse effects or a low benefit ratio. Reported side effects are substantial in decisions regarding drug recall. By contributing to this critical process, DrugXafe ensures patient safety and the effectiveness of existing medications.
Effective Recall
DrugXafe carries out the processes of temporary or permanent deactivation, closure of sale and recall of medicines decided by health authorities or regulators for any reason such as faulty production, expiration date, common side effect or permanent effect. In this way, patient safety is ensured by guaranteeing the effectiveness of all existing drugs in the nationwide supply chain.
Expiration Date Control
Sales of expired products to customers are halted. When the barcode is registered, DrugXafe's system is notified of the expiration date, and sales will be blocked. This process prevents the sale of drugs that are not safe to use.
User-Friendly Interface
DrugXafe has a user-friendly interface to empower all stakeholders in healthcare. The system has been developed according to international standards that allow heavy-duty, scalability, high performance and user-friendly usage.
