Mexico is the first country in Latin America to authorize the commercialization of elinzanetant, with import and supply processes set to begin in the coming months.[^1] 

Excélsior reported the move. No other country in the region has cleared the drug for sale.

The read here is that the first-in-region approval hands Mexico a head start on its neighbours for this drug. The next detail to watch is when the import and supply processes actually start.
