UK
pharmacies that are manufacturing and exporting pharmaceutical products and
solutions need to possess Mhra license.
MHRA is a government body that is responsible for regulating all medicines and
medical devices in the UK by ensuring they are safe to use. The main goal of
MHRA is to safeguard public health through a system of regulation.
Pharmaceutical
manufacturers and distributors in the UK need to apply for the Mhra license which is
given only after the body conducts an inspection and finds the manufacturers
and distributors conforming to internationally agreed standards. Also, the
medicines should be manufactured, stored and distributed in compliance with the
required regulatory standards.
A pharmacy
is not allowed to sell or market medical products in the UK without securing
the necessary license. The companies that are involved in all stages of the
manufacture and distribution of pharmaceutical products need to have the relevant
licence for the activity. MHRA works in accordance with the Human Medicines
Regulations 2012 in regulating the UK medicine market.
You can also
apply for Mhra
license if you are into the business of exporting medicines
and medicinal products. The MHRA issues export certificates as applied by the
UK pharmacies to help exporters of medicinal products satisfy the import
requirements of other countries. MHRA certificate will ensure the exported products
meet all the statutory requirements. In some cases, the certificates are
formatted to comply with international organisations such as the World Health
Organisation (WHO).
Guidance
provided by MHRA and other government organisations ensure every UK manufacturer
and distributor of medicines and medicinal devices meet their obligations to
reduce chances of affecting the health of human beings who will buy their
products.
