1. Coralie Rutherford on whose behalf I am sending this enquiry is
an independent consultant operating in the pharmaceutical industry.
We have a client who is developing a cough mixture to be sold in
primary care. We have these queries because we need to register the
product with the South African Medicine Control Council.
2. This project is not funded by anybody. It is a general enquiry.
