Frequently Asked Questions
Q&A What types of companies do you work with?
We work with EU-licensed wholesale distributors, parallel traders, and licensed commercial operators. Our partners are typically based in Western, Central, and Northern Europe and rely on us for Romanian sourcing, intra-EU distribution, and supply chain coordination within a GDP-controlled framework.
Q&A Are you authorized for pharmaceutical wholesale distribution in Romania?
EAST PHARMA operates as a Romanian pharmaceutical wholesaler within the applicable wholesale distribution framework and under the oversight of the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices of Romania (NAMMDR). Relevant public verification may be available through EudraGMDP where applicable.
For a complete overview of our authorization framework and GDP compliance references, see our authorizations and GDP compliance page.
Q&A What is parallel export and how does EAST PHARMA support it?
Pharmaceutical parallel export is the legal cross-border supply of authorised medicines between EU member states through licensed wholesale distributors. Romania is one of the established source markets for parallel trade within the EU, with price differences for the same medicine sometimes exceeding 20–40% across member states.
EAST PHARMA supports licensed EU partners with Romanian pharmaceutical sourcing, supply coordination, and parallel export execution for branded medicines, generics, and OTC products. All activities are conducted under our Wholesale Distribution Authorisation issued by ANMDMR and in compliance with EU GDP guidelines and FMD serialization requirements.
For more detail on how we support parallel export from Romania, including product categories and documentation, visit our pharmaceutical parallel export page.
Q&A What product categories do you handle?
We work with branded prescription medicines, generic medicines, and over-the-counter products. All handled products are supported by the applicable marketing authorization documentation — including product dossiers, SmPCs, and batch-level records — maintained in line with GDP traceability requirements. We are also compliant with EU Falsified Medicines Directive serialization requirements.
Q&A What information should I include when contacting you?
Please include your company name, country, authorization type, request type, product category, target market, and timeline. If you are initiating a qualification process, note that a formal account opening procedure is in place. We typically respond within 24 business hours.
Q&A How can I verify EAST PHARMA in EudraGMDP?
EAST PHARMA's Wholesale Distribution Authorisation (WDA) and GDP certificate are publicly listed in the EudraGMDP database maintained by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
To verify our authorization, visit the EudraGMDP database, select Romania as the country, and search by company name. Both our WDA and GDP certificate status are accessible through this public register.
For partner qualification, we can also provide our authorization documents, ANMDMR registration details, and standard qualification package directly upon request.
Q&A Where are you located and what markets do you serve?
EAST PHARMA is based in Galați, Romania, with warehouse operations in Bucharest. We support authorized wholesale partners across the European Union. Contact us to discuss your market and product requirements.
Q&A What documentation is available during partner qualification?
EAST PHARMA operates a structured qualification process for both customers and suppliers. For qualified inquiries, we provide a standard documentation package that includes:
Wholesale Distribution Authorisation (WDA) issued by ANMDMR
Active GDP certificate registered in EudraGMDP
Company registration and identification documents
Standard customer and supplier questionnaires
Technical agreement templates
QMS overview and relevant SOP references
This package is designed to support procurement, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance reviews. Contact us to initiate the qualification process.
Q&A Do you operate under a formal Quality Management System?
Yes. Our QMS covers 24 documented Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across all GDP-relevant areas, including document control, personnel training, deviation and CAPA management, supplier and customer qualification, product recall, complaint handling, intra-EU distribution, and IT system validation. The system is maintained and reviewed in line with EU GDP guidelines.
Q&A Why work with a Romanian pharmaceutical wholesaler?
Romania maintains some of the lowest regulated pharmaceutical prices in the EU reference basket, making it a structurally relevant origin market for licensed parallel export activity to higher-priced EU destinations.
Working with a Romania-based, ANMDMR-authorized GDP wholesale partner provides direct and compliant access to this market — with local supplier relationships, established regulatory standing, and the documentation infrastructure required for qualified B2B pharmaceutical operations.
EAST PHARMA has operated in this market since 2018, supporting licensed EU partners with sourcing, supply, distribution, and parallel export coordination from Romania.

Q&A How does GDP compliance support pharmaceutical distribution in Romania?
Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is the EU regulatory framework governing the storage, handling, documentation, traceability, and distribution of medicinal products. In Romania, GDP compliance is enforced by ANMDMR and requires wholesale distributors to hold both a Wholesale Distribution Authorisation and an active GDP certificate, both publicly verifiable in the EudraGMDP database.
For pharmaceutical partners working with EAST PHARMA, GDP compliance provides a structured and auditable basis for cooperation — with controlled storage conditions, documentation control, qualified logistics, and a Quality Management System covering 24 standard operating procedures across all GDP-critical areas.
This supports the requirements of procurement, QA, and regulatory teams reviewing Romanian supply chain partners.
