Laboratory control of medicines

National control 

NOMA conducts analysis of medicines on behalf of RELIS, the Directorate of Health, doctors, pharmacies, the Customs Service and the Police. On behalf of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, NOMA can analyze dietary supplements when there is suspicion of illegal addition of medicines. 

If you suspect a quality defect in a medicine, see the guidance on handling quality defects. If you suspect that a medicine has caused an adverse reaction, contact a doctor or use the reporting form.

Internationally 

NOMA contributes to drug control in the EU/EEA through the mutual exchange of samples and professional collaboration with other official medical control laboratories (OMCL network). The OMCL network contributes to utilization of the analytical capacity for laboratory quality control. 

Further information on the OMCL network can be found in the brochure “The European Network of Medicines Control Laboratories (OMCL)
