Overview

Overview

Registration of pharmaceutical products with Health Canada through the Abbreviated New Drug Submission (ANDS) application might have similar technical requirements to that of the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This simplifies the Canadian registration process for medicinal products which are already registered with the U.S. and the EU Health Authorities. However, to understand Health Canada’s unique procedural and technical requirements like, Drug Establishment License (DEL), it is vital to consult a Regulatory expert for quicker registration and approvals.
