Furthermore, in recent years, PRTR (Poll
utant Release and Transfer Register) system has been established, and various types of harmful chemical substances have been released into the environment from what sources and how much they were released into the environment. It is necessary to notify the administration (country via prefecture) of the amount of chemical substances released and transferred from each business in order to grasp, aggregate, and publish data on whether they have been carried out of the business. Therefore, it is necessary for each company to create a drug database.

However, the production of each type 1 designated chemical substance (354 substances designated by Cabinet Order), which is the target substance,
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) at the distributor:
There are various ways to prepare a safety data sheet for chemical substances, etc., and it is obligatory to always obtain it and attach it when moving it, so there is also the problem that chemical management becomes complicated.

In view of such a problem, it is an object of the present invention to provide a medicine management system capable of unifying and managing the purchasing, use, movement and disposal of medicines.
