Talk:Pharmaceutical distribution

On 1 May 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Drug distribution to Pharmaceutical distribution. The result of the discussion was moved.

Direction of article

I am not sure where you intend to take this article. Distribution and logistics are good topics but what is your intent here. Regulations and industry practices are highly varied. Distribution packaging is one small part of the distribution-logistics subject. You can certainly reference the drug packaging page and even duplicate some of the photos.

@Pkgx: I am done here for now. I just wanted to start an article on the topic. This could be expanded to include any of the following information -

Which countries or regions manufacture and export drugs
Which countries or regions import drugs
What is the typical logistics chain, like for example, manufacturer -> wholesaler -> retailer, or however it goes
How does international drug export and import work? Are there quality checks at customs, restrictions on importing some drugs, etc
What are the economics of international distribution?
How is shipping drugs different from shipping any other sort of freight?

What do you think should be here? Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah this needs a bunch more work. I merged some stuff here. Jytdog (talk) 04:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Drug distribution → Pharmaceutical distribution – This is to distinguish from the generic 'drug', which includes both pharmaceutical drugs and illicite/quasi-legal/legal recreational or 'unregulated' drugs. It's a matter of specificity. Thanks for considering this. I will not enter the discussion unless specifically pinged and asked to do so.
