Developing Good Distribution Practices in Specialty Pharmacy

Several years ago, Temptime asked an independent testing lab to source the five most commonly used packaging technologies used by speciality pharmacies and evaluate their performance against a commonly used testing standard and the packaging manufacturer’s own claims.

In short, the outcome of this study and the data developed still holds true as many speciality pharmacies continue to purchase and use these same packaging technologies today.

This paper presents highlights from that thermal performance study, which was conducted by Modality Solutions. The study examined the performance of five shipping technologies commonly used by speciality pharmacies to transport high-value refrigerated speciality medicines against an industry-accepted temperature profile standard.
