MCC 5122: Pharmaceuticals and prescription drugs

High Risk

This MCC is one of the highest risk categories possible, encompassing "wholesale distributors of prescription and proprietary drugs, vitamins, toiletries, antiseptics, bandages, pharmaceuticals, biological or related products, and other miscellaneous small articles typically for sale in drug stores" according to Mastercard. Ensuring compliance with a litany of regulations, shipping requirements, 'unsupported health claim' requirements, and FDA warning letters is a challenge for platforms.

SafetyKit handles these complexities, including verifying health claims, prescription requirements, and monitoring FDA warning letters to detect new risky drugs.
