eSubscription is the process of registering medicinal products for marketing authorisation at the local authorities.
eSubscription requires in current regulations in the US and Europe substantially different technologies, terminologies and vocabularies for registration of medicinal products. In the US, the FDA requires a “Structured Product Labeling” (SPL). In Europe, the European Medical Agency (EMA) initiated a new standard called IDentification of Medicinal Products (IDMP). It is most likely that FDA will take-over these standards in near future. IDMP raised the bar significantly by requiring information be sent in specific form for each country and language and coded with an ISO Code.
