Rows Registrations

We have significant experience working on international registration and we can advise on the optimal strategy for international registrations as well as support you through the whole review process.

Post Approval

Regulatory Compliance

Once a product is approved, information continues to be provided to the regulators through requirements such as Periodic Benefit Risk Evaluation Reports (PBRERs)/Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs). In addition, most regulatory approvals come with commitments that must be met. We have extensive experience of post-marketing regulatory requirements and can help guide you on what is needed and when to keep your product on the market.

Line extensions are often a key component of successful life cycle management. We can support these activities with strategic advice and advice on regulatory requirements through fully managing the documentation and procedure.
