In Korea, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) is in charge of regulating pharmaceutical products and services.
Pharmaceutical companies submit a indigo Drug Master File in Korea (indigo KDMF) to the MFDS, which includes comprehensive information about the production, processing, facilities, materials, packaging, and testing of indigo. The MFDS reviews the indigo KDMF as part of the drug registration process and uses the information provided in the indigo KDMF to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug.
After submitting a indigo KDMF to the MFDS, the registered manufacturer can provide importers or distributors with the registration number without revealing confidential information to Korean business partners. Applicants seeking to register their indigo API can apply through the Korea Drug Master File (KDMF).
