The Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a vital role in protecting public health by regulating and ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of products available in the country. This oversight includes pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food, and cosmetics, ensuring consumers have access to safe and reliable products. The FDA offers a comprehensive and easily accessible list of approved products on its website. This article will guide you through the process of navigating the FDA’s verification site to look up approved products.

Understanding Key Terms

Before proceeding, it’s helpful to understand some essential terms:

• LTO (License to Operate): A permit issued by the FDA that allows establishments to engage in the manufacture, import, export, distribution, sale, or other related activities involving regulated products.
• CPR (Certificate of Product Registration): This certificate indicates that the FDA has evaluated and registered a specific product, confirming it meets safety, efficacy, and quality standards.
• CPN (Certificate of Product Notification): Also known as “Notified Products,” these certificates are issued for low-risk products that have undergone a simplified notification process, typically granted for cosmetics, household hazardous substances, and other non-pharmaceutical items.
• VAT-exempt Health Products: Health products, including medicines, medical devices, and raw materials, that are exempt from value-added tax (VAT) under Philippine tax laws.
