Introduction: Abbreviated New Drug Submission (ANDS) in Canada
In Canada, the Abbreviated New Drug Submission (ANDS) application process for pharmaceutical products shares technical requirements with the US FDA and EMA. This simplifies the registration process for products already registered with those authorities. However, Health Canada has unique procedural and technical requirements that require the expertise of a regulatory expert.
Consulting a Regulatory Expert for Health Canada’s Unique Requirements
To ensure a quicker registration and approval process, it’s crucial to consult a regulatory expert familiar with Health Canada’s unique procedural and technical requirements. This includes understanding Drug Establishment License (DEL) requirements, which are mandatory for companies that sell, import, or distribute drugs in Canada.
