Pharmacy Inventory – Compliance and Best Practices

Pharmacy inventory has extra requirements: expiry tracking, batch numbers, and regulations.

What Pharmacies Must Track

  • Expiry dates – Sell before expiry, remove expired stock
  • Batch numbers – For recalls and traceability
  • Schedule drugs – Extra records for controlled substances
  • Cold chain – Temperature-sensitive items
  • Supplier licenses – Valid drug licenses

Best Practices

  • FIFO (first expiry, first out)
  • Regular expiry audits
  • Low-stock alerts for essential medicines
  • Separate storage for schedule drugs
  • Digital records for inspections
