Marketing Authorization

Meaning

Marketing Authorization, often referred to as a drug license or regulatory approval, is the formal permission granted by a national or regional regulatory body, such as the FDA in the United States or the EMA in Europe, allowing a pharmaceutical product to be commercially sold and distributed. This authorization is granted only after the applicant has submitted comprehensive data demonstrating the drug’s quality, efficacy for its intended use, and safety profile through rigorous clinical trials. For hormonal therapies, this process ensures that the prescribed medication meets established clinical standards for treating endocrine conditions.
