Promius Pharma is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, an integrated pharmaceutical company and one of India’s largest global pharmaceutical companies. Promius Pharma designs personal and practical healthcare solutions for people, resulting in treatments that address dermatology and neurology conditions. Promius products are packaged in a variety of configurations, depending on user requirements.

In this Q&A, Healthcare Packaging discussed the company’s serialization strategies with Amit Kulkarni, Associate Director Package Engineering and Development, and Javier Gonzalez, Director of Combination Products and Packaging Development.

Healthcare Packaging: To many pharmaceutical manufacturers, serialization involves a considerable investment in capital and time to achieve DSCSA compliance. How does your company justify this economically?

Kulkarni: Serialization is mandated under Title II of the DQSA (Drug Quality and Security Act 2013) and we take compliance of all regulations seriously. When it comes to compliance, we invest accordingly with the most practical solution. Promius Pharma is committed to patient safety and supply chain security and we strongly believe that our smart investments comply with the serialization requirements.

Healthcare Packaging: Does your company address serialization and aggregation simultaneously? Do you have personnel assigned specifically to these tasks?
