E-drug: old drugs review procedures?  
--------------------------------------------------

Like many countries, South Africa registered all drugs on the market  
when it started drug registration many years ago.

The European Union asked all member states to review  
these 'old' drugs before 1994.

As the South African Drug Regulatory Authority will most probably  
also embark on such a process, we would be interested to know from  
other countries what their exact procedures and experiences were in  
dealing with this backlog of 'old' drugs. Your feedback will be given  
to MCC and DOH for their perusal.
