Pharmaceutical Product Registration in Thailand - Overview
Registration of Pharmaceutical products in Thailand has grown significantly in the past few years due to impressive developments in the public healthcare system. Thailand represents a significant growth opportunity for multinational pharmaceutical firms looking to expand their presence in the emerging markets of Asia Pacific. The Thai drug Registration and Approval Process is regulated by the Thai FDA (Food & Drug Administration), which operates under the guidance of the Ministry of Public Health.

Medicinal Product Registration in Thailand
As per the Thailand FDA product registration and approval process, the procedure of pharmaceutical product registration is divided into two (02) steps.
Step 1: Application for Obtaining the Import License
For a pharmaceutical product registration in Thailand, the applicant should acquire an Import License to import the drug into the country. Documents required for this application include the application form, drug formula, drug literature, and drug labeling & packaging information.
Step 2: Application for the Approval of the Credential Certificate
For registration with the Thailand FDA, the applicant is required to obtain a Credential Certificate. Documents required for this application include the Import License, drug sample, literature and formula, pharmacological and toxicological study (if applicable), clinical trials, safety and efficacy study (if applicable), Free Sale Certificate, GMP Certificate, labeling & packaging information, etc.
Once the dossier is prepared and submitted to the USFDA, relevant committees in charge of the Pharmaceutical product registration in Thailand carry out the dossier screening (completeness review + technical review). After the review process by the experts, queries are issued by the Thai FDA to the applicant. The applicant then submits a response to the queries from the Thailand FDA, and the second round of review is performed by the experts. Based on these results, the Thailand FDA issues approvals for medicinal products.
