But traditional PV activities have also received recent criticism for relying too much on information from spontaneous reporting systems…

No one likes adverse drug reactions (ADRs) — not pharmaceutical companies, not regulators, and certainly not patients. — No one likes adverse drug reactions (ADRs) — not pharmaceutical companies, not regulators, and certainly not patients. That’s why ongoing monitoring for ADRs — a process known as pharmacovigilance (PV), or monitoring the safety and risk-benefit profile of pharmaceutical products — is a core responsibility of pharmaceutical companies around the…
