The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) implements the issuance of electronic License to Operate (e-LTO) to streamline and improve government services through eServices Portal.

LTO applicants for drugstores, retail outlet for non-prescription drugs (RONPD), drug distributors, and drug traders can now print their License conveniently at their home.

All the other FDA centers, including devices and cosmetics, will also be included on the e-portal.

FDA ensures that e-LTO will be processed in less than the 20 working days following the Anti-Red Tape Authority’s (ARTA) guidelines.

FDA Advisory No. 2020-781 was launched last 07 May 2020 and can be accessed thru the e-services portal (http://eservices.fda.gov.ph/). –MRJ
