Complex medicines increase pharmaceutical logistics demands

The pharmaceutical sector is facing increasing logistical demands due to the rise of complex medicines. In Argentina, these products—which include oncology, autoimmune, neurology, and gene therapies—now account for approximately 20% of storage space and 50% of distribution operations for companies like LOG-IN FARMA. These treatments require strict control over temperature, light, and handling to prevent economic loss and health risks.

Effective management requires specialized infrastructure to handle both high-volume standardized products and high-cost, low-volume critical medications. Maintaining a continuous cold chain and end-to-end traceability is essential, particularly given the challenges posed by large territorial extensions.

In parallel, the availability of patent medicines and the maintenance of the cold chain are highlighted as vital for managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and respiratory issues. Innovative treatments, including advanced molecules and extended-release technologies, rely on precise logistical care to ensure efficacy and patient safety.
