Regional markets we support

Indonesia: sustain the product, not only the first approval

Our Indonesian work centers on keeping products alive after the first BPOM decision—variations, PSUR and ICSR handling, defect response, dossier gap analysis, and product-owner regulatory accountability across the lifecycle.

Full pharmaceutical MAH infrastructure is a separate build; meanwhile we strengthen the layers that protect marketed products every week: regulatory affairs navigation, pharmacovigilance setup, and GMP/GDP compliance frameworks that survive both routine and for-cause scrutiny.

When sponsors ask what “local support” means in Jakarta, the answer is concrete: dossier hygiene, safety signal handling, and a compliance spine that keeps import and distribution decisions defensible.

Sustainability services we run now

01

Regulatory affairs through the lifecycle

From development conversations to post-market filings, we keep BPOM expectations visible and actionable.

02

Pharmacovigilance that can be audited

Local PV systems, adverse-event flow, and inspection readiness with your quality partners.

03

Compliance framework

GMP, GDP, and quality standards woven into how import and distribution decisions are made.

Who governs the path

BPOM (NADFC) guards safety, efficacy, and quality for Indonesian pharmaceutical products. Registration is a staged conversation with that Agency—not a single upload.

Submission of Application to BPOM

Inspection (if necessary)

Key points

01

Dossier Preparation: Prepare a complete registration dossier that

Dossier Preparation: Prepare a complete registration dossier that includes: Product information (e.g., composition, strength, dosage form). Clinical trial data (if applicable) to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Manufacturing site details, GMP compliance certificates, and quality control measures.

02

Submission: Submit the registration application through BPOM's online

Submission: Submit the registration application through BPOM's online system, e-Registration. This includes submitting all necessary documentation and paying the required fees.

Post Approval Changes

Post-Marketing Surveillance and Reporting (Pharmacovigilance, Renewal of Registration) The pharmaceutical product registration process in Indonesia is thorough and involves compliance with regulatory standards to ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of drugs. Companies planning to enter the Indonesian market must carefully follow BPOM’s procedures, submit comprehensive documentation, and be prepared for potential inspections.

The Indonesian applicant is the local pharmaceutical industry

BPOM speaks with a licensed Indonesian Pharmaceutical Industry as applicant—the party responsible for regulatory completeness and day-to-day Agency interaction. Foreign manufacturers appoint that local industry partner; we help make the appointment and the dossier story coherent from CPP through labelling.

Expect scrutiny on composition, manufacturing narrative, stability, clinical justification where required, and Bahasa Indonesia labels that match BPOM’s published expectations—not a translated afterthought.

Core dossier pillars

01

CPP or Free Sale Certificate from the country of origin

02

GMP evidence—with possible BPOM inspection of foreign sites

03

Composition, process, stability, and clinical packages as applicable

04

Bahasa Indonesia labelling meeting BPOM rules

05

Safety/efficacy justification and any prior foreign marketing authorizations

How BPOM evaluates

01

Quality

Manufacturing and stability under review.

02

Safety & efficacy

Clinical and scientific evidence weighed for Indonesian use.

03

Label check

Language, warnings, and dosage instructions verified.

04

GMP clearance

Import products may face facility inspection.

05

NRA number

Marketing authorization issued—typically valid about five years—and listed in BPOM’s database.

After the NRA number: stay marketable

Approval is the starting gun. Pharmacovigilance, five-year renewals, labelling in Bahasa Indonesia, and e-Registration discipline decide whether the product stays on shelves. Fees follow product type and complexity—budget them as part of the critical path, not a surprise invoice.

Biologics and biosimilars often carry heavier clinical expectations; traditional medicines follow a distinct but still evidence-based path; imports still clear customs and documentation gates before they reach patients.

Our team documents assumptions, authority expectations, and decision points so sponsors can approve the plan with clear risk ownership.

Local pharmacists and regulatory specialists stay accountable through query cycles, inspection readiness, and post-approval obligations.

We align labeling, Module 1 localization, and partner communications so commercial launch can follow approval without rework.

Where pathways differ by product class, we sequence filings to protect the critical path and avoid avoidable deficiency letters.

Engagements can scale from a single dossier workstream to a multi-country virtual regulatory function.

PECAN.Solutions scopes each workstream with milestones, document owners, and authority touchpoints so registration, license holding, and commercial access stay on one plan.
