OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: PDRX), a publicly held corporation, today announced that it has completed the infrastructure of an on-line web based pharmaceutical tracking system called "Pedigree Security Network" to combat the use of counterfeit drugs and provide each customer with the ability to authenticate the medications that they purchase from PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals. PD-Rx is one of the first pharmaceutical firms to offer such a tracking system. The PD-Rx website will provide each customer with the ability to interface with our data files on every medication, providing them with the security and comfort of knowing the true pedigree of all medications sourced through PD-Rx Pharmaceuticals. Mr. Shawn Stephens, IMS Director stated, "Our Web based Pedigree System is completely integrated with our internal accounting systems. From the point of our order, thru any packaging that may occur, to the point of shipment to the customer. The Security Network actually builds the pedigree from our accounting tracking systems already in place. This means instead of storing a 'pedigree paper' for retrieval at some point, our system builds it in place and display's the data as requested." With the use of custom designed bar codes, each customer will be able to scan the individual product and print a secure pedigree at anytime on-line with PD-Rx. The pedigree includes additional information such as common carrier tracking numbers, the exact amount of each lot number shipped, past shipments, organoleptic markings and product descriptions as defined by our Quality Control Officers from our production plant. Future plans will allow PD-Rx to first convert to a two-dimensional barcode then to an RFID system that will store additional information and security measures as technology because economically feasible and the balance of the industry is capable of supporting such technology.
