  • The purpose of this study is to examine the development of the pharmaceutical distribution industry. The pharmaceutical industry is are expected to suffer a heavy blow when the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is introduced, despite its best efforts. Therefore, adequate solutions must be found. Section II introduces the Korean pharmaceutical distribution system and its current situation; Section III explores the distribution system's strengths and weaknesses. Section IV, identifies the problem and possible solutions for the Korean pharmaceutical distribution system; Section V summarizes and concludes this paper and acknowledges its limitations. Finally, this paper has a clear limitation. The lack of objective information and scientific analysis due to the data being based on interviews with company representatives is its most significant shortcoming. However, it offers implications for new directions for future research.

  • 한국 제약산업은 제약회사의 수와 거래선의 수가 많고, 다품종 소량생산체제이며 동일성분의 경쟁품이 많은 실정이다. 이러한 실정 하에서 통합물류가 물류원가 절감 및 효율적인 배송에는 적절한 방안이라고 할 수 있으나 기업마다 다른 배송 조건 문제, 다품종 소량주문의 적기 배송 문제 등 회사 특유의 서비스 제공 등에 한계가 있어서 경쟁적 매출증가에 문제점이 있다 하겠다. 이와 같이 물류원가는 절감해야하고 영업효율성은 증대시켜야 하는 두 가지 문제를 두고 다음과 같은 대처방안을 제시하고자 한다. 첫째, 제약회사 간 품목 공동마케팅 실시. 둘째, 규모가 비슷한 3개 회사 이하 합동 배송실시. 셋째, 매출이 큰 제품은 도매상과 유통 일원화 협약. 넷째, 도매상이 제약 물류 서비스하도록 준비. 다섯째, 거래선의 협조 등이다. 결론적으로 한국제약산업에서 통합물류가 필요하지만 산업의 특성상 중소제약회사는 완전 통합물류는 매출이 감소할 것이라는 가정하에 그 시행이 어려울 것으로 판단되는 것이다.

  • Purpose: This research is aimed to explore factors affecting on Kazakhstan's pharmaceutical distribution industry, selection of various factors and assessment of the level of their influence. Based on the literature review it was defined that there is a great variety of scientific works relating to pharmaceutical distribution industry competitiveness and management improvement. Research design, data and methodology: There is very little research, which to determine the issues of pharmaceutical industry distribution in developing countries, in particular EAEU countries. The algorithm was chosen for research provision: statistical and comparative analysis, correlation, and regression analysis. The data of 1993-2020 obtained from the World Bank, Bureau of National Statistics, National Bank of Kazakhstan, which is expressed by 19 factors as macroeconomic indicators. Results: The chosen variables were selected non-randomly, these economic indicators had the most reliable, unique, and utmost for the whole research period complete information. Conclusions: There could be made adequate conclusions of the research, there is a strong positive relationship for six factors: population, GDP per capita, average annual US dollar exchange rate, the minimum pension, average assigned monthly pension, minimum wage. Pension and wage are the most significant factors affecting on the pharmaceutical distribution industry in Kazakhstan.

  • Purpose: The objective of this study is to deepen our understanding of the key factors that determine sustainability in terms of suppliers based on the transactions between suppliers (pharmaceutical companies) and buyers (medical institutions) in the pharmaceutical distribution industry. Research design, data and methodology: Transaction justice factors were derived from three main components: distributive, procedural and interpersonal, five hypotheses were set up. The respondents from the data collected through an online survey are sales staff of pharmaceutical companies. Total of 319 questionnaires are collected and used to verify the hypotheses through the SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 programs. Results: Justice of transactions perceived by the salesperson of pharmaceutical companies was found to have a significant effect on the relationship commitment. Among them, procedural justice was found to have greatest relative influences. In addition, relationship commitment was found to have a significant effect on sustainability performance. Thus, all hypotheses were adopted. Conclusions: The results of this study, can be used as basic data for the guidelines for fair trade between pharmaceutical companies and medical institutions. In addition, it is expected that the study will have significance in that it examined sustainability through transactions with buyers from the viewpoint of suppliers.

  • 의료인이 환자에게 직접 조제한다는 이유로 의약품공급자로부터 의약품을 취득하여 보관하고 있다가 스스로에게 투약한 경우의 약사법상 쟁점을 검토하였다. 의료인이 자가 투약 행위를 한 경우 의약품공급자나 의료인이 약사법에 따라 형사처벌될 수 있다. 그 가벌성은 약사법에서 규정한 의약품 유통 질서 훼손에 있다. 첫째, 의약품공급자가 의료인에게 의약품을 판매하는 것은 약사법 제47조 제1항 제1호 나목 위반죄의 구성요건에 해당한다. 다만, 약사법상 허용되는 직접 조제를 위해 판매한 경우 형법상 정당행위에 해당하여 위법성이 조각된다. 그러나 의약품공급자가 의료인의 자가 투약 목적을 알면서도 의약품을 판매한다면 위법성이 조각되지 않아서 형사처벌될 수 있다. 둘째, 의료인이 약사법상 직접 조제를 위하여 의약품을 취득한다고 명시적, 묵시적으로 의약품공급자를 기망하고 의약품을 취득하여 자가 투약한 경우, 기망에 의한 의약품 교부로 의료인에게 형법상 사기죄가 성립할 수 있다. 셋째, 의료인의 자가 투약 시 약사법상 조제 행위가 수반되므로 약사법 제23조 제1항 위반죄의 구성요건에 해당한다. 이때 위법성이 조각되지 않는다. 왜냐하면 의료인의 자가 투약 행위는 약사법에서 의료인에게 부여한 특별한 지위를 남용한 것으로 의약품 유통 질서를 해치고 의약분업의 취지를 훼손하는 것이어서 형법상 정당행위로 볼 수 없기 때문이다.

  • Purpose: This article aims to investigate the influence of pricing and distribution on the level of satisfaction and purchase decisions among consumers of pharmaceutical products in Kazakhstan. Research design, data, and methodology: A mixed-methods research design was utilized, incorporating primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through a survey administered to customers across various pharmacy types, with 100 valid responses analyzed. Secondary data involved an extensive review of existing literature and analysis of national statistics concerning the pharmaceutical market trends from 2008 to 2022. Results: The results reveal a complex relationship between price perceptions and customer satisfaction. A significant segment of the population views current drug prices as high, which affects their satisfaction levels and purchase decisions. The study also highlights the importance of service quality in enhancing customer satisfaction, suggesting that service improvements could mitigate some of the negative perceptions of pricing. Conclusions: This research contributes to the limited but growing body of knowledge on the impact of pricing strategies on consumer satisfaction in the pharmaceutical sectors of developing countries like Kazakhstan. Focusing on economic and behavioral aspects, this study provides a more holistic understanding of the factors driving consumer satisfaction and purchase behaviors in this critical sector.

  • Purpose - This paper aims to review cold chain management, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, to explore the cold chain process of delivering temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products, and to identify areas for further development. Research design, data, and methodology - The paper, based on literature review and corporate analysis, reviews the development and status of the cold supply chain system, including its important role in the pharmaceutical industry. Results - Logistics in this field requires more stages than are typically needed. Due to the unique characteristics of the market, few companies can provide the services; currently, only few global companies with large networks and high technologies can afford to do so. Expanding pharmaceutical markets to meet global demand will require cold chain development, especially in "pharmerging" markets. Conclusions - Cold chain is a highly sensitive market in terms of products being carried within the chain that itself is a complex system. However, at the same time, it is a niche market with new opportunities. Hence, a sound cold chain infrastructure is needed to satisfy companies, governments, and customers for both commercial and public reasons.

  • The model of an isolated organ system has been developed to simulate the kinetic behavior of drug levels in an acting organ or site. The model is developed from basic considerations of drug distribution with hemodynamical and pharmacokinetical meanings. Model: It is considered a situation in which non-metabolic drug substance is injected into the arterial inflow of an isolated organ at constant rate. The volume of distribution and the concentration of drug in the venous outflow can be mathematically expressed as a function of time.
