SAHPRA, South Africa has released the final guidance on NITROSAMINE COMMUNICATION (enclosed) and is largely in line with the EMA and FDA guidances. Nitrosamines limits are adopted from EMA Q&A documents.

Some additional flexibilities are listed below:

  • Applicants can submit variations to their API and/or FPP (e.g. manufacturing process, controls and specifications, product formulation, raw materials and packaging) during the pre-registration phase if nitrosamines are detected above acceptable intake limits.

  • Acceptability of less than life time approach on case by case basis with SAHPRA consultation and well defined treatment duration adjusted AI limits.

  • SAHPRA also accepts limits approved by authorities which it aligns itself with.

Happy reading!

Thanks & regards,
Sumit
