Drug Master Files (DMF) Pharma containment solution registration in the USA, Canada and China
REQUEST LOADrug Master File registration
For drug registrations in the USA, Canada, and China, SCHOTT Pharma prepares descriptions of pharmaceutical packaging products and registers them in Drug Master Files (DMF). These files separate the descriptions of the pharmaceutical packaging or medical device from the descriptions of the final drug or medical device.
The content that SCHOTT Pharma contributes to the DMF is referenced via a Letter of Authorization (LoA). During authority review, the LoA is considered part of your drug application. You can use the DMF and LoA references provided by SCHOTT Pharma for the same pharmaceutical packaging across multiple drug applications.

Our Regulatory Affairs and Compliance Team takes care of generating, filing, and updating DMFs. In the USA and Canada, DMF filings are generated and maintained in eCTD format, while in China we create and maintain bilingual DMFs in a China-specific dossier format.
Our DMF setup enables customers to use SCHOTT Pharma containment and delivery solutions as pharmaceutical packaging or medical devices. In format and content, our DMFs follow the latest authority guidelines to promote a fast and seamless review of your drug application.
