How Do You Get Your Product Fit for Marketing?
Pharmacovigilance (5 min)
Use of a medicinal product or device in so many more people and with varying conditions can sometimes reveal effects that were not found in the clinical trials. Pharmacovigilance is a process to collect information on the side effects of medicines throughout the medicine’s life.
Regulators may sometimes ask for formal post-marketing trials to collect information on side effects. But in most cases health professionals and patients are relied upon to report side effects. Because this arrangement to report is very often voluntary, side effects may not get reported for a long period. This type of pharmacovigilance activity is particularly problematic in countries which do not have a formal reporting system and the capacity to evaluate the reports.
