Pharmaceutical products in Lebanon are regulated by the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). Lebanon has introduced a national pharmaceutical verification and traceability initiative designed to improve supply chain transparency and combat counterfeit medicines.
The country operates a Medicine Barcode System that requires pharmaceutical products to carry GS1 compliant DataMatrix barcodes. The barcode enables verification of medicines through the Ministry of Public Health digital verification platform.
The Lebanese traceability initiative allows healthcare professionals, pharmacists, and regulators to verify medicines by scanning the barcode and confirming product authenticity through the national system. The framework supports identification of medicines throughout the distribution process and helps detect counterfeit or illegally imported products.
Serialization requirements apply primarily to human medicines registered and distributed within the Lebanese pharmaceutical market.
