Islamabad: The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) has allowed patients to import small quantities of medicines for their personal use.
There are a few medicines that are currently not registered in Pakistan due to patent issues or other reasons.
“Patients can apply to DRAP offices located in the capital or to the provincial headquarters for import permission,” a
statement issued by DRAP
on Saturday informs.
Although DRAP has a priority review system and early registration process for new medicines, a small number of medicines are not available due to international patent laws.
If a registered medical practitioner prescribes an unregistered medicine, patients can import it for their personal use. An application written on plain paper, copy of CNIC, and an original prescription by the physician are all that is required for the process.
