Pharmacy Inventory Management Guide: Batch, Expiry & DGDA Compliance
📑 Table of Contents
Pharmacies operate under strict regulations and tight margins. Stocking thousands of small medicine boxes without batch and expiry automation frequently leads to expired drug inventory that cannot be returned to pharmaceutical companies.
Key Challenges in Pharmacy Management
- Batch & Expiry Date Management: Software must ensure cashiers sell older batches first (FIFO) and alert before shelf expiration.
- Generic Drug Lookup: When a doctor prescribes a specific trade name (e.g., Square, Beximco, Incepta) that is currently out of stock, pharmacists can search by Generic name to suggest in-stock alternatives.
- Fractional Strip & Box Sales: Selling single tablets or strips without messing up parent box inventory counts.
- Pharma MR / Supplier Ledgers: Reconciling purchase invoices, credit days, and returns with medical representatives.
