Veterinary medicines successfully into the market
13.6.2017
On Tuesday 6th June, a group of representatives from veterinary medicine companies came together over breakfast to hear about the challenges associated with veterinary medicines. Paula Kajaste, Coordinator for marketing authorisations, Fimea, told about the quality of product information texts of veterinary medicinal products and the related challenges. In the centralised procedure, the overall quality of translations is good and the QRD template is followed. However, Paula Kajaste noted that especially in the decentralised and mutual recognition procedure, the quality of translations varies and pointed out that it would be beneficial if the applicant had a Finnish-speaking contact person.
In addition, the use of Nordic packaging is challenging. Co-operation related to labelling works quite well, but Paula Kajaste reminded the companies that in order to avoid unnecessary delays it would be good to notify Fimea about common packages at the latest before handling of the translations.
