İlaç Takip Sistemi (ITS) is a security system created with the goal of preventing pharmaceutical smuggling by tracking every stage of a medication, from production to reaching the patient. Comprehensive medication tracking is achieved through unique QR-style codes (karekod) assigned to each medication.
What Does ITS Stand For?
ITS, whose implementation is mandated by the Ministry of Health to prevent pharmaceutical smuggling and protect public health, stands for İlaç Takip Sistemi (Pharmaceutical Track and Trace System).
What Does the Pharmaceutical Track and Trace System Do?
ITS tracks every stage of a medication, from the production phase through to reaching the patient. The benefits provided by ITS include:
Thanks to the pharmaceutical tracking system, counterfeit medications can be detected, helping prevent the production of fake drugs.
It helps prevent pharmaceutical smuggling.
By preventing counterfeit drug production, public health is safeguarded.
By tracking the journey of manufactured medications, control is maintained over every stage of a medication's lifecycle, thereby encouraging rational drug use.
ITS provides comprehensive insight into the pharmaceutical sector.
It prevents potential disputes between pharmacies and reimbursement institutions.
By tracking every step of a medication and enabling immediate action when needed, public health safety can be ensured.
Through ITS medication verification processes, clinics and pharmacies maintain control over their medications.
Using ITS fulfills a legal obligation.
How is ITS Used?
In Turkey, physicians who operate clinics or private practices are legally required to report every stage of a medication from the moment it is procured. Medications kept by clinics and pharmacies must comply with legal standards. Procurement, use, and disposal (due to expiration) of medications must all be legally reported. This way, the location and time data for each medication—from procurement through to reaching the end user—is recorded in the system and securely stored.
