Notification of launch, suspension, renewal or withdrawal from the market of a medicinal product

Section 33, paragraph 2 of Act No 378/2007 Coll., on Pharmaceuticals and on Amendments to Some Related Acts (hereinafter referred to as the “Act on Pharmaceuticals”) stipulates the obligation of the marketing authorisation holder to report to SÚKL:

  • The date of actual placement of a medicinal product on the market in the Czech Republic broken down by pack size and type of packaging; no later than two months after its actual placing on the market
  • The date of suspension or termination of marketing of the medicinal product in the Czech Republic no later than two months in advance thereof; where exceptional circumstances arise, such notification may be made no later than concurrently with the actual suspension or termination of marketing of the medicinal product in the Czech Republic;
  • Forthwith the date of resumed marketing of the medicinal product.

For these purposes, SÚKL has prepared an electronic report form:
