Medsafe approves first medicine using the ‘Rule of Two’ pathway
Paliperidone is the first medicine to be approved in New Zealand via the expedited ‘Rule of Two’ pathway, says Associate Health Minister David Seymour. “The ‘Rule of Two’ medicines approval pathway was introduced last year. It allows medicines to be approved within 30 days if the product has approval from two recognised overseas jurisdictions,” Mr Seymour says.
