National Coalition of Pharmaceutical Distributors

The National Coalition of Pharmaceutical Distributors (NCPD) is a trade association that represents the interests of independent pharmaceutical wholesale distributors in the United States. The organization focuses on advocacy, regulatory compliance, and the maintenance of supply chain integrity to ensure the safe distribution of prescription medications. NCPD plays a significant role in representing small to mid-sized distributors during the implementation of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). By engaging with the FDA and legislative bodies, the coalition works to protect the interests of independent wholesalers while promoting high standards for drug safety and traceability. Its members are essential components of the healthcare infrastructure, bridging the gap between manufacturers and retail pharmacies or healthcare providers.
