Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a container (180) for storing a pharmaceutical product (190) are presented. The container (180) may be monitored (210) such that container movement may be detected (212) and logic may be provided for determining if the movement was authorized. In the event of unauthorized movement, an alarm (140) may be activated (214) to alert a user or stakeholder of the unauthorized movement. The movement of the pharmaceutical product container (180) may be detected by way of a motion sensor (120) such as an accelerometer. The alarm (140) may comprise an auditory or visual alarm as well as a network communication indicative of the activation of an alarm. The alarm (140) may be prevented or canceled (218).
