Mexico's COFEPRIS Mandates Update of Sanitary Representative Information

Published /Mexico

Overview

On January 17th, 2022, the Sanitary Authority in Mexico (Federal Commission for Protection against Sanitary Risks - COFEPRIS) published Announcement No. 05/2022. This announcement requires distributors, importers, and pharmacies to update their Sanitary Representative information and provide other pertinent details such as opening hours and legal address.

Importance of Updates

It is mandatory to update COFEPRIS whenever this information changes, ensuring the public has access to current data. Previously, these updates required a face-to-face appointment at the COFEPRIS headquarters, often at the request of the regulatory authority, and the process could take weeks. The newly implemented portal drastically improves this procedure, representing a significant advancement in the platform for the regulated areas.
