Practical implication
Marketing authorization holders (MAHs) must review and potentially update their product labeling to align with the new regulations by 11 April 2029 for products authorized before 11 May 2024.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has introduced guidance pertaining to the implementation of adopted abbreviations and pictograms on the packaging of veterinary medicinal products authorized through various EU procedures including centralised, mutual recognition, decentralized, and national procedures. This guidance outlines the transitional period and specifics for compliance, including dates and applicability for new marketing authorisations.
What changed: The QRD guidance specifies that from 11 May 2024, new abbreviations and pictograms can replace existing labeling information on veterinary medicinal products.
Why it matters: This guidance ensures proper identification and comprehension of veterinary medicines by users and facilitates compliance with EU regulations, ultimately enhancing safety and efficacy in the veterinary medicine sector.
Practical implication: Marketing authorization holders (MAHs) must review and potentially update their product labeling to align with the new regulations by 11 April 2029 for products authorized before 11 May 2024.
