Details

Parallel Distribution Notices (PDNs) are notice letters which parallel distributors must obtain from the European Medicines Agency before placing a centrally authorised product on the market. PDNs are no longer valid in Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales). These were replaced by Parallel Import Licences (PLPIs) through the PDN to PLPI conversion process, which allow the products to be marketed in Great Britain (GB) only. PDNs currently remain valid in Northern Ireland.
