Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Swissmedic could require additional safety information and a warning in the product information of urine-derived medicines.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Given the possible risk of transmission of prion-related disease, Swissmedic could require a warning and updated composition information.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted the expert assessment that transmission of BSE/TSE or variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease could not be excluded for medicines derived from human urine. Under the HMG, Swissmedic may adapt authorizations when circumstances change and may require necessary product-information changes to ensure safety.
