Tasks
The authorisation of finished medicinal products on the basis of the Medicinal Products Act (Arzneimittelgesetz, AMG) is one of the main tasks of the BfArM. In the course of these licensing procedures it reviews the health benefit, i.e. efficacy, safety, and pharmaceutical quality of the medicinal products. Furthermore, the BfArM also fulfils important tasks in connection with drug licensing on a European level. Homoeopathic drugs are either registered by the BfArM without statement of indications or are licensed with indications.
