The Exploitant Status

The Exploitant status, granted by the French Health Authority (ANSM), involves a series of critical functions designed to maintain high standards of quality, compliance, and patient safety. Here are the key activities we manage under our Exploitant status:

  • Wholesaling
  • Batch follow up,
    batch recall
  • Medical Information
  • Promotional activities
  • Pharmacovigilance
  • Storage

Wholesaling

Wholesale involves several stages (ordering, distribution, transport).

Each stage is carried out either directly by us, or by selected and duly qualified subcontractors.

As an exploitant, we ensure an appropriate and continuous supply to the national market at all times, so as to cover the patient needs in France.

Batch follow up

Monitoring and maintenance of product conformity on the market.

Following the appearance of an adverse effect or the detection of a non-conformity, we perform an analysis of the situation, set up remediation if possible, and may have to recall one or more batches of medicines.

At Aphilæ Pharma, all product quality complaints are assessed and investigated appropriately:

  • Identify the causes, assess the recurrence of the defect, its potential impact on other batches/products, associated risks, etc.
  • Implement appropriate corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

Medical information

  • Pharmaceutical request: concerns the drug itself, its galenic form or shelf life, for example.
  • Medical request: concerns the patient’s pathology, or the combination of the drug with other treatments, for example.

Promotional activities

Advertising refers to any form of information aimed at promoting the prescription, dispensing, sale or consumption of medicines.

Drug advertising is subject to very strict regulations. Pharmaceutical laboratories must obtain a visa from the ANSM authorizing the distribution of drug advertising.

Pharmacovigilance

The purpose of pharmacovigilance is to monitor, assess, prevent and manage the risk of adverse effects resulting from the use of medicines:

  • to prevent the risk of adverse effects resulting from their use within or outside the scope of their authorization/registration, or from occupational exposure;
  • to promote the safe and effective use of these products, notably by regularly informing patients, healthcare professionals and the public of safety data.

Storage

We take care of the stocks of your product, our warehouse facilities are well established subcontractors, selected and qualified by us on stringent standards

Who is the Responsible Pharmacist?

To maintain our high standards of regulatory excellence and ensure the safety and quality of our medicinal products, we rely on the crucial role of the Responsible Pharmacist.

  • Role and Responsibilities
  • Skills and Experience
  • Types of Responsibilities
  • Freedom of Judgment and
    Pharmaceutical Authority
  • Delegation and
    Replacement

Role and Responsibilities

The Responsible Pharmacist (RP) is a pivotal role essential to the organization of any pharmaceutical laboratory « exploitant » involved in the manufacture, exploitation, and distribution of medicinal products for human use in France. The RP ensures the quality of the medicine and the safety of the patients. Their responsibilities, defined by the regulations in articles R.5124-16 to R.5124-41 of the Public Health Code, include organizing and supervising all pharmaceutical activities: manufacturing and batch release, advertising, information, pharmacovigilance, follow-up and withdrawal of batches, distribution, import and export, storage, and transport. Unlike the qualified person within the European Union (directive 2001/83/EC, article 48), the RP has personal responsibility for all pharmaceutical activities.

Skills and Experience

The skills and practical experience of the RP are validated by the National Council of the Order of Pharmacists. Recent modifications to the practical experience requirements were made by Decree No. 2022-324 of March 4, 2022 (CSP Articles R.5124-16 to R.5124-18). The RP is appointed by the competent corporate body of the company and then declares themselves to the national competent authority: the ANSM.

Types of Responsibilities

Legal and Criminal Liability

The RP is a member of the company’s management and the main contact with the Health Authorities, holding personal responsibility for the compliance of the pharmaceutical establishment with the Public Health Code.

Disciplinary Responsibility

The RP must respect professional ethics and comply with deontological obligations.

Civil Liability

The RP shares civil and criminal liability with the manager(s) of the company.

Freedom of Judgment and Pharmaceutical Authority

The RP preserves their freedom of professional judgment in the exercise of their functions (CSP Article R.4235-3). They have authority over all pharmaceutical staff (CSP Article R.5124-36) and appoint delegate pharmacists.
