Minor Inclusion to the Philippine National Formulary (PNF)

Per DOH Department Circular 2022-0254* and Department Circular 2022-0584*, the Minor inclusion track is applicable for  drugs that are currently listed in the PNF, but are being applied for: change in or additional strength; packaging; net content; pack size/volume; and any other change that will not result in a significant difference in terms of bioavailability and meaningful clinical outcomes with the PNF-listed drugs. 

This process track is open year-round and stakeholders may nominate/apply for drugs for minor inclusion given that they are already listed in the PNF. Kindly note, however, that all submissions shall be completed and submitted to the HTA Division within 14 working days after acknowledgement and validation of the requirements submitted. Please be advised that late and incomplete submissions will not be processed.
