New marks were introduced so that healthcare professionals could quickly identify EM and distinguish them from advertising materials.

The list of medicines for which MAHs have prepared and SAM has approved EM is published on the SAM website in Latvian language. It is the responsibility of the MAH to deliver the SAM approved EM to the appropriate healthcare professionals.
