Overview
Any change in the approved content should be submitted to Health Canada either as a supplement/amendment/annual report based on the complexity and impact on the quality of the product as per the HC guidelines.
Based on the impact of the change, the reporting categories of the post-approval changes are:
- Level I-Supplements (Major changes)
- Level II-Notifiable Changes (Moderate Quality Changes)
- Level III-Annual Notification (Minor Quality Changes) and
- Level IV- Record of changes
The criteria, supporting documents/data required and implementation timelines differ for each change and hence requires expertise for assessment of the change, development of strategies and submission of supplement/amendment/annual report.
