State Licensing
Timely state licensing is just as critical as the FDA approval process
- Data & Documentation Submission
- Progress Tracking
- Management of Closing Process
When it comes to State Licensing, each state has different requirements
State licensing can be a complicated process, largely because each state decides the rules for themselves and there are constant changes and updates that aren’t easy to keep track of or even find.
For instance, as a prerequisite for you (as the NDA/BLA holder) to carry a license, some states require:
- Your CMOs to carry a license
- A background check from your officers
- 3PL partners to be named on the application
- FDA approval
It’s a lot of information to stay updated on, but if manufacturers get anything wrong on their applications, that means they won’t be able to sell their drug in that state.
Ultimately, this could mean:
- Lost opportunity
- Lost revenue
- Punitive fines from state boards of pharmacy
