The storage and transportation of pharmaceutical products are incredibly complex, and several factors can contribute to drug contamination. To ensure that drugs remain safe during storage and transportation the Canadian Government has established the Foods and Drugs Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. F-27) and Food and Drug Regulations (C.R.C., c. 870) that all fulfillment centers must follow. Part of these regulations requires all pharmaceutical products to be stored and transported in drug-safe facilities.
A drug-safe facility is a warehouse that is designed and operated to minimize the risk of drug contamination. An officially licensed facility must receive all drugs imported into the Canadian market. Health Canada provides certifications to facilities that comply with a long list of safe storage and transportation methods.
Many factors can contribute to drug contamination, including environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light), storage conditions (type of container, manner of storage), and transportation conditions (type of vehicle, route taken). All these factors must be planned to maintain the drugs' optimal condition.
