REGULATORY AGENDA
Biennial Cycle
2024-2025

LIBRARY OF
MEDICINES
Updated on 04/17/2025

Coordination of Regulatory Processes – CPROR

Regulatory Quality Improvement Advisory – ASREG


Office of the Chief Executive Officer
PRESENTATION

Medicines represent one of the most comprehensive and prominent macro-themes at the National
Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa).

Some of the Agency's responsibilities in the area of medicines are: registration; authorization of
operation and inspection of pharmaceutical laboratories and other companies in the pharmaceutical
chain; analysis of patent applications related to pharmaceutical products and processes; and price
regulation, through the Chamber for Regulation of the Medicines Market (CMED). Other actions are
shared with states and municipalities, such as inspection of manufacturers, quality control of
medicines and post-marketing surveillance, with emphasis on pharmacovigilance and regulation of
medicine advertising.

Libraries are documents that bring together all current standards for a given
macro-topic, divided by themes. The objective is to facilitate access and understanding of
the Regulatory Stock for internal and external audiences, as well as to improve the
process of drafting and reviewing regulations.

Be sure to also check out theLibrary of Cross-Cutting Themes, which covers subjects
applied to all macro-themes, such as: Company Operating Authorization (AFE), Good
Manufacturing Practices Certification (CBPF), Surveillance Inspection Fees
Sanitary (TFVS), Petitioning for Resources, etc.
