Post-authorisation
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) provides scientific and regulatory guidance to pharmaceutical companies whose medicinal products have been authorised in Europe. This is known as the post-authorisation stage of the product lifecycle.
The information in this section sets out the responsibilities of marketing authorisation holders in areas such as pharmacovigilance, applying to vary a marketing authorisation, submitting product data to EMA and reporting product defects or recalls.
