The PMP requires project management experience. If you only have the degree, and not the experience, the CAPM may be your best bet in the short term.
Is your experience with regulatory affairs project-based? Depending on the nature of your work, it may or may not count for the experience requirement. Saving Changes...

Yes, some experience is project-based. I am involved in a lot of projects where I have to participate in reunions with other companies since the beggining of a project to register new products, also I work with different areas to comunicate the advances. I put a project in my profile, if you have a chance to see the description and let me know your comments.
I might apply for the CAMP because of the experience, but I was wondering if my experience can be applicable for the PMP certification.

I checked out your profile, but I am still not sure what specific activities may have been involved.
Look through the 5 domains: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing. The exam handbook helps you see individual tasks within the domains.
Which of these areas applies to your experience? If you find that you have leadership experience in all the domains, and have gained this experience over 36 months (with a four year degree) or 60 months (with a high school diploma or associate's degree), you'll be eligible to take the PMP exam.

I support his suggestion.
One more thing, you could describe the high-level experiences so far. The descriptive message strongly recommend to cover to 5 process groups as suggested by Jared. For the rest of that, keep it be a PMI's determination.
