If you're new to the pharmacy world of the Designated Representative, maybe this quick introduction will help. I'm going to explain, using the California (CA) State Board of Pharmacy as the example.

According to the CA Designated Representative application form:

A designated representative is an individual who performs clerical, inventory control, housekeeping, delivery, maintenance, or similar functions related to the distribution or dispensing of dangerous drugs or dangerous devices. To work as a designated representative, you must possess and keep a current certificate as a designated representative.

There are quite a number of requirements that have to be met in order to qualify, including the following training requirements listed on the application form:

Complete a training program that, at a minimum, addresses each of the following subjects:
(A) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of dangerous drugs and dangerous devices.
(B) Knowledge and understanding of California and federal law relating to the distribution of controlled substances.
(C) Knowledge and understanding of quality control systems.
(D) Knowledge and understanding of the United States Pharmacopoeia standards relating to the safe storage and handling of drugs.
(E) Knowledge and understanding of prescription terminology, abbreviations, dosages and format.

The trick then becomes finding a way to fulfill the training program requirement.

Ready For Drug Pedigree Rules?

Updated November 10, 2022

I recently attended a conference that included representatives from the European, Asian, and U.S. regulatory agencies. At that meeting there was much discussion around pedigree rules. Some of the concerns expressed begin with importing drugs and bulk actives (now called active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)). At this level, manufacturers are required to qualify supplies. This means that a manufacturer must actually visit the API manufacturing site to assure themselves, and the public, that the production facility shown to the auditor is the actual site of manufacture, and that there is no "shadow site" where the real work takes place. Internationally, there are different approaches to the pedigree. In Europe there is exploration with a "book ends" approach. This approach requires the manufacturer to issue the initial pedigree. The next pedigree touchpoint is at the pharmacy when the product is dispensed to the patient. The thinking is that if the product is moving between known distribution channels, then the product is protected. The U.S. requirement is to document every change in ownership. This means that every touchpoint is documented. Yes, regulators in Europe realize that this approach probably provides better assurance of the supply chain. However, they are also concerned about how much work to pass on to the smaller distributors who may not be staffed for this level of documentation.
