As a presidential candidate, President Barack Obama endorsed re-importation, an idea the industry opposes. White House officials have told the industry if the larger health care bill passes, the cost savings will be so great that reimportation will be unnecessary, according to Billy Tauzin, president of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America."

Cegedim Dendrite announced the launch of COUNTERxFEIT DETECT, a new offering that will assist pharmaceutical companies in identifying counterfeit product and determining where it entered their United States supply chains. Cegedim Dendrite is the leading provider of compliance technology solutions and services in the pharmaceutical industry. Counterfeit medicines represent a significant public health and safety issue for consumers. It also poses serious business and financial risks for manufacturers, including possible liability issues, lost revenue, erosion of brand confidence and negative public perception. COUNTERxFEIT DETECT is designed for pharmaceutical companies that need to identify and determine the of counterfeit, contaminated or adulterated product. Cegedim Dendrite facilitates this by coordinating the purchase of non-controlled, finished drug products from contract manufacturers or distributors, using an independent pharmaceutical buyer. The product is shipped to a testing facility or the pharmaceutical company"s analytical lab, where the product is analyzed. "Drug counterfeiting is a concern in the pharmaceutical industry with estimates indicating that upward of 8% of pharmaceutical medicines worldwide may be counterfeit," explained Bill Buzzeo, Cegedim Dendrite Vice President and General Manager, Compliance Solutions and OneKey. "As part of their anti-counterfeiting programs, pharmaceutical companies should acquire finished drug products within the supply chain for analysis and testing to ensure their quality. We seamlessly facilitate that process, and as far as we know, we"re the only company that offers this type of program." Cegedim Dendrite"s independent purchasing of finished drug product takes the burden off the pharmaceutical company"s internal res. COUNTERxFEIT DETECT is fully secure and includes appropriate audit trail documentation that provides insight into the full acquisition chain associated with the independent pharmacy"s purchase. "If an independent party is making the purchase," said Buzzeo, "the pharmaceutical company can better show that they had a random sample for testing and that the process was not tainted by anyone internally with false motive."
