Sunset clause – A list of medicinal products jeopardised by sunset clause

A list of medicinal products for which either no consumption has been reported or which do not comply with the requirements stipulated by the Decree.  

The table list:
  • medicinal products for which no consumption has been reported or  
  • medicinal products which do not comply with the requirements stipulated by the Decree, i.e. in the period less than 10,000 DDDs have been placed on the market.  

The sunset clause, as referred to in Section 34, paragraph 3 of Act No 378/2007 Coll., on Pharmaceuticals, as amended, could be applied to these products.

For each medicinal product, the list provides the MA number, SÚKL code, product name, name supplement, and MRP number.  

The list is only for reference purposes and it is not binding. Should the information provided in the list not reflect reality, marketing authorisation holders are kindly requested to inform the below specified staff of the marketing Authorisation Branch as soon as possible and to support their information with relevant evidence.

Thus, if there are indeed reasons which satisfy the conditions laid down by the Act on Pharmaceuticals, these reasons have to be specified and, naturally, justified in the application. The Act on Pharmaceuticals does not stipulate any special form of application. An application lodged in compliance with Section 34, paragraph 3 of the Act on Pharmaceuticals must therefore meet the requirements of the Administrative Code. These are provided in Section 45, in compliance with Section 37, paragraph 2 of the Administrative Code.

Requirements governing an application pursuant to Section 37, paragraph 2 of Act No 500/2004 Coll., the Administrative Code, as amended, are attached in the annex - Requirements governing applications pursuant to Section 37.pdf, (612.46 kB).

Thereafter, SÚKL shall decide within the scope of an administrative procedure governed by the effective Administrative Code; i.e. it shall issue the decision prior to the expiry of the three-year period stipulated by the Act. When this decision comes legally into force, SÚKL shall publish information on the marketing authorisation ceasing/not ceasing to be valid, together with a rationale in respect thereof, on its website.
