Questions

The questions people ask about DoseTrace, answered in full, read out of this product's own register.

Is this an EPCIS or serialization platform?

No, and it does not try to be. Your wholesalers move the serialization data. What almost no independent pharmacy can produce on the spot is the written record around it, the dated determination, the verified partner log, the procedures and the retention plan. That is what this is.

What counts toward the 25-employee threshold?

Full-time employees licensed as pharmacists or qualified as pharmacy technicians, counted across the whole corporate entity that owns the dispenser, not per store. Multi-store owners routinely count one location and believe they qualify. The free checker above is built around exactly this.

What happens on 27 November 2026?

Less than it did before 6 August 2026, when FDA granted small business dispensers a further year. The 2024 exemption ends that day and a second one runs from it until 27 November 2027, and FDA takes the 25-employee headcount that decides who holds the extra year on 27 November 2026 itself, so it is the day your eligibility is measured, not the day the requirements land. The enhanced, electronic and interoperable requirements of section 582(g)(1) now arrive on 27 November 2027. Everything the exemption never covered, knowing your authorized trading partners, keeping transaction information, handling suspect product and answering a tracing request, has applied the whole time and still does.

How much work is this for me?

About fifteen minutes of questions, then the binder comes back to you. Three things stay yours: fill in the fields only your wholesaler can answer, sign the training attestation, and run the tracing dry run and write down the date. An unsigned attestation is worse than none.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is compliance documentation, prepared from your answers. You are attesting to its contents, so read it before you sign it and correct anything that does not match how your pharmacy actually operates.

Why a flat fee instead of a subscription?

Because the deadline could move. A subscription priced against a date that shifts is how you end up owing refunds. $99 once, for a binder you own.

Every answer above is already published on DoseTrace itself, at https://dosetrace.thecompound.tech/. Nothing on this page is written for it: the answers are read out of this product's own question register by a script, and a build gate re-runs that script and fails the deploy if a word here has drifted from it. The register was last re-checked against its sources on 11 August 2026.
