A Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Sector Under Strict Saudi Food and Drug Authority Oversight
The pharmaceuticals and medical devices sector is among the most heavily regulated in the Kingdom, and any engagement with it without precise understanding of Saudi Food and Drug Authority requirements can expose distributors and manufacturers to serious violations, up to product withdrawal from the market or complete license suspension.
Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Distribution Contracts
We review and draft pharmaceutical and medical device distribution contracts between global suppliers and local distributors, including regional exclusivity clauses and storage and transport requirements specific to temperature-sensitive medical products.
Registration and Licensing of Medical Products
We help meet registration and licensing requirements before the Saudi Food and Drug Authority for every new pharmaceutical product or medical device before its introduction to the Saudi market, complex procedures requiring precise technical documentation.
Supplier and Manufacturer Quality Disputes
We handle supplier and manufacturer disputes tied to medical quality and safety standards, particularly when a product batch is found not to conform to approved specifications or delivery is delayed at a critical time for a healthcare facility.
Product Withdrawal and Medical Recalls
When the Saudi Food and Drug Authority requires withdrawing a product batch from the market, we help distributors and manufacturers manage the recall process in line with regulatory instructions while limiting accompanying legal liability.
Intellectual Property in Pharmaceuticals and Medical Innovations
We help manufacturing companies protect patents for innovative pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and pursue infringement disputes from counterfeit or similar products attempting to benefit from the original product's reputation.
Liability for Harm From a Defective Medical Product
When a patient is harmed by a defective drug or medical device, we represent affected parties or manufacturing companies in product liability disputes, cases requiring precise technical proof of the causal link between the defect and the harm.
Supply Contracts for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities
We review supply contracts between distributors and hospitals and healthcare facilities, including urgent delivery clauses for critical medications and the mechanism for handling stock shortages in emergency situations.
