Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SFDA approval and how long does it take?
SFDA (Saudi Food and Drug Authority) approval is the regulatory requirement for all pharmaceutical products in Saudi Arabia. The approval timeline typically ranges from 6-18 months depending on dossier completeness, drug classification, and regulatory pathway. MedWisdom specializes in accelerating this process through proactive query management and strategic documentation.
What is pharmacovigilance and why is it mandatory?
Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities related to detection, assessment, understanding, and reporting of adverse effects or any other medicine-related problems. It is mandatory in all GCC countries to ensure public health safety. Manufacturers must maintain a local pharmacovigilance system with a qualified QPPV (Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance) available 24/7 for adverse event reporting and management.
Which documents do I need for regulatory submission?
A typical regulatory dossier includes: Product information (SPC, labels), Quality data (CMC, shelf-life studies), Nonclinical data (toxicology), Clinical data (safety & efficacy), Pharmacology summaries, Risk management plans, and Environmental assessment. Requirements vary by product type (generic, innovator, biologic, vaccine, medical device). MedWisdom provides guidance on exactly which documents your product requires for your target market.
Is there a difference between GCC and individual country approvals?
Yes. While there is a GCC mutual recognition agreement, individual countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman) maintain separate regulatory requirements and approval processes. However, approval in one GCC country often facilitates approval in others. Our team navigates both individual and harmonized pathways to optimize your market entry strategy across the region.
What is the difference between generic and innovator drug approval?
Innovator drugs require full nonclinical and clinical safety/efficacy data and longer approval timelines (typically 2-3 years). Generic drugs only require bioequivalence studies and comparative quality data, resulting in shorter timelines (6-12 months). Both require local pharmacovigilance systems. MedWisdom has expertise in both pathways and can advise on the most efficient route for your product portfolio.
