Regulatory Consulting For Companies In The Pharmaceutical Sector

For pharmaceutical companies in Brazil, registering drugs with ANVISA is a critical process, but one fraught with challenges. Incomplete documentation, failures to follow best practices, and ignorance of specific rules cause delays of up to 18 months and rejections in 40% of initial applications. In this guide, we explain how to overcome these obstacles with proven strategies and turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

Documentary Diagnosis: The Basis for Avoiding Rejections

ANVISA requires detailed technical dossiers with data on efficacy, safety, and quality. Common errors include:

  • Incomplete studies: Lack of clinical trials or stability analyses;
  • Labeling issues: Outdated information or information not aligned with RDC 47/2009;
  • Failures in the good practice manual: Unvalidated manufacturing procedures.

Solution: Specialized consultancies conduct preliminary audits to identify gaps, reducing the risk of rejection by 70%.

Strategies for Avoiding Delays in the Process

  1. Intelligent grouping of records
    Companies that submit batches of similar products (e.g., generics from the same line) in a single process accelerate analysis by 30%, taking advantage of document synergies.
  2. Proactive regulatory monitoring
    With 15 annual updates to ANVISA standards, alert systems prevent delays. E.g.: New rules for biological medicines (RDC 876/2024) require immediate adjustments to protocols.
  3. Centralized management in the Solicita system
    ANVISA's official platform for petitions requires valid digital certificates and accurate completion. Consultancies avoid technical failures that stall 25% of processes.

Suitability for Controlled Medicines: Additional Requirements

Medicines containing substances subject to special control require:

  • Specific authorizations: AFE (Company Operating Authorization) and AE (Special Authorization) for production;
  • Enhanced traceability: Audited logistics systems and monthly sales reports;
  • Controlled prescription: Use of blue (type B) or yellow (type A) prescription forms.

Relevant fact: 90% of bans in this category occur due to failures in transport or storage documentation.

Post-Registration Changes: How to Avoid Downtime

Changes to already approved products (e.g., change of raw material supplier) require prior approval. Critical steps:

  • Correct classification of the change: “Minor” changes (e.g., packaging) have a simplified procedure;
  • Complementary studies: Validation of equivalence for new ingredients;
  • Agile communication: Notification via Solicita within 30 days after the modification
