Post-Approval Challenges
Securing a marketing authorization (MA) is just the beginning of a product’s regulatory journey. Over time, adjustments or enhancements to the original authorization may be required to address evolving market demands, technological advancements, or regulatory updates. These variations can include process scale-ups, changes to product specifications, new dosage strengths, or the introduction of additional therapeutic indications.
Post-approval compliance also demands active monitoring to ensure adherence to conditions established during approval, including addressing unresolved pre-approval queries or managing ongoing regulatory commitments.
