A question from a reviewer is not automatically a failure of the application. It often means a document was missing, a name did not match, or a claim on pack was not reflected in the file.
The companies that handle queries calmly are usually those that kept a version-controlled working file from the start.
Answer the question that was asked
Responses should address the point raised, attach the relevant document, and avoid introducing a new product description that conflicts with the original application.
Keep a correspondence record
Dates, questions and attachments should remain available to the internal team and to any local partner. That record is also the starting point for later variations.
MEPA supports query management as part of submission work. It does not speak for any authority and cannot accelerate an official decision.
