Its goal is to verify legitimate products, detect suspect and illegitimate products, and better facilitate drug product recalls protecting consumers from counterfeit, contaminated, or otherwise harmful products. The FDA has outlined tiered compliance deadlines for DSCSA implementation, beginning with prescription drug manufacturers by November 27, 2017. Repackagers were required to reach compliance by November 27, 2018, followed by wholesale distributors by November 27, 2019, and dispensers by November 27, 2020. The final deadline for serialization and traceability for DSCSA was November 27, 2023. The FDA announced a one-year delay in enforcing the electronic tracking requirement under the DSCSA. The enforcement of an interoperable package-level electronic data exchange has now shifted to November 27, 2024. DSCSA requires a unique product identifier at the prescription drug package level that consists of: National Drug Code (NDC) Serial number Lot number Expiration date Product identifier in 2D barcode format
