Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reverse distribution?

Reverse distribution is the process of moving pharmaceutical or medical products backward through the supply chain — from end users, pharmacies, or distributors back to the manufacturer, a returns processor, or a compliant disposal facility. It is used to handle expired medications, recalled products, overstocked items, and damaged goods in a legally compliant, documented manner that satisfies FDA and DEA requirements.
