The expertise to act as your Marketing Authorisation Holder 

Our drug commercialisation services include acting as your MAH — a role TMC has assumed for many companies over the last 10+ years. As MAH for your product, TMC:

  • Assumes all risks and responsibilities to hold the marketing authorisation on your behalf. 
  • Ensures full compliance with EU/UK legislation, UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)/European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines and the terms of the marketing authorisation. 
  • Is accountable for pharmacovigilance, product quality and regulatory compliance. 
  • Ensures the product is manufactured, packaged and labelled according to good manufacturing practices (GMP). 
  • Maintains the quality management system (QMS) and oversees production — even if outsourced. 
  • Conducts audits and manages technical agreements to enable continuity of supply. 
  • Advises on good distribution practices (GDP) to ensure product integrity during storage and transport. 
  • Acts as a qualified person for pharmacovigilance (QPPV) and coordinates with pharmacovigilance teams for ongoing safety monitoring, signal detection and risk management.
