Leaving the market

Exclusion of medicinal product from the Medicinal Product Register and withdrawal from the market is possible at any time after the decision on marketing authorisation of the product or during the renewal of marketing authorisation if the marketing authorisation holder no longer wishes to renew the authorisation.

A medicinal product may also be excluded from the Medicinal Product Register and withdrawn from the market in Latvia if it has not been released on the market for three years following marketing authorisation or if it was released on the market but marketing has been discontinued for three consecutive years.

In all cases, a submission must be sent to the State Agency of Medicines, indicating the reasons for exclusion of medicinal product from the Medicinal Product Register/withdrawal from market.
