SÃO PAULO and LONDON, November 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil SA, the Brazilian leader in track and trace solutions, and Aegate, the world's leading provider of medicines authentication services, have formed an alliance with the aim of providing a comprehensive service to both fulfil the requirements for the ANVISA service as well as launching medicine authentication in Brazil.

This alliance brings together two market-leading companies with the shared goal of achieving better patient safety. R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil S.A. is the leading track and trace company in Brazil and has developed a proprietary solution that supports manufacturers, importers, distributors, hospitals, primary and secondary care pharmacies and other members of the distribution chain to be in compliance with the local Track and Trace legislation. Aegate has more than a decade of experience, and is the first and only medicines authentication provider to provide a live service to more than 24,000 dispensing points in 12 countries in Europe, and the only validated authentication hospital service live today at the Oxford University Hospital in the UK.

As a demonstration of its commitment to the Brazilian market, Aegate will establish a Brazilian business unit in alliance with R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil. The sharing of expertise between Aegate and R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil will enable the swift achievement of national legal compliance to medicine authentication standards within the mandated Brazilian adoption period.

Mark De Simone, CEO of Aegate said: "Aegate is committed to supporting the health of Brazilian citizens, and patients throughout South America. This exciting alliance with R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil is one of unprecedented synergy and impact, and complements Aegate's activities in North America in response to the Drug Safety and Quality Act (DQSA). Aegate is confident that its expertise in technology, operation and implementation offers extraordinary value to all stakeholders in the healthcare value chain that will ultimately reduce cost, increase profitability and, above all, safeguard patient safety."

Amilcar Lopes, CEO of R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil said: "R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil, has been collaborating with leading academic, public and private hospitals in Brazil to improve the understanding of the RDC 54 and the track and trace process in the country. The alliance with Aegate will bring greater security to the patient through the authentication process already used by Aegate in Europe. We are ready to act on this important synergy for medicinal products in South America and globally."

Aegate and R&B Rastreabilidade Brasil will make further announcements to inform all stakeholders of their next steps together.

NOTES TO EDITORS  

In 2014, 20% of the Brazilian pharmaceutical market comprises counterfeit medicines. (http://www.cartacapital.com.br/revista/821/o-mercado-negro-de-medicamentos-1645.html)

The number of counterfeit drugs sent for expert examination in Brazil increased by more than 200% between January 2007 and December 2009. Out of the total number of reports, 80% included counterfeiting of the drugs Cialis® and/or Viagra®. Anabolic steroids were the next most common drug to be counterfeited. (Source: http://www.scielosp.org/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-89102012005000005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en)
