    • The product information should be updated with the next variation that affect the product information.
    • If no variation concerning the product information is planned, the MA-holder may submit a C.I.z, typeIB variation (CMDh Q&A on variations (pdf)) within 2-3 years.

    For medicinal products authorised through centralized procedures, please see EMA's website.
