Pharma Logistics Unaffected by DEA’s Operation Bottleneck
Introduction
In recent news, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has garnered significant attention with its Operation Bottleneck, a high-profile initiative aimed at preventing the diversion of controlled substances.
While this operation is causing ripples in the pharmaceutical industry, one key player, Pharma Logistics, stands strong and remains unaffected and fully operational. In this blog post, we’ll explore what Operation Bottleneck is and how Pharma Logistics ensures compliance for itself and its customers.
What is Operation Bottleneck?
Operation Bottleneck, initiated by the DEA, has a noble purpose: to prevent the diversion of opioids and other highly addictive controlled substances into illicit channels. The operation aims to enhance security and accountability in the pharmaceutical supply chain, which is essential for public safety. It has received considerable attention due to the potential impact on pharmaceutical companies and their logistics partners.
During the week of September 25th, 2023, the DEA issued one Immediate Suspension Order and five Orders to Show Cause to companies that have a legal obligation to account for every dose and pill to protect the safety and health of the American people.
