Abstract: 83
Abstract
Pharmaceutical Wholesalers (PBF) play an important role in ensuring the quality and availability of pharmaceutical preparations through the implementation of Good Drug Distribution Practices (CDOB). This study aims to evaluate the storage and distribution system at PBF “X” and its compliance with CDOB standards. The methods used are direct observation and descriptive. The results show that the storage and distribution system at PBF “X” has met most of the CDOB standards, with adequate facilities, temperature and humidity monitoring, and separation of storage areas based on drug status. Distribution is carried out in an orderly manner, only to licensed customers, and supported by complete documentation. Challenges are still found in the risk of temperature fluctuations that can affect drug stability. Overall, the implementation of CDOB at PBF “X” is running smoothly, although the temperature monitoring system requires improvement to prevent degradation in the quality of pharmaceutical preparations.
