State Licensure of Prescription Drug Distributors
HDMA firmly supports a uniform system of licensing regulation nationwide that
meets the federal licensing mandate established under the Prescription Drug Marketing
Act and preserves the integrity of the drug healthcare distribution system. HDMA
encourages states to include drug healthcare distributors in the regulatory process
on matters pertaining to licensure. This will ensure that the appropriate expertise
needed to address the complexities of healthcare distribution is available
and that fairness and uniformity are maintained.
HDMA also believes that all healthcare distribution of prescription drugs should
be licensed under the PDMA to ensure the integrity of the product and the distribution
process throughout the United States. HDMA will encourage regulatory authorities
to license all facilities where there is long-term storage and distribution of
prescription products consistent with current PDMA requirements.
