53 active registrations carry expiry dates within the next twelve months. A registration expiry means a renewal is due, not that the product disappears — holders routinely renew — but a lapsed number on a pack is worth checking before a large order. See which ones, by month →
The molecules behind these numbers

“Antimalarials” on this page means these molecules — the register itself has no therapeutic grouping, so a category page must say exactly what it counted.
