Pharmacovigilance
Pharmacovigilance refers to a program of activities aimed at safeguarding and promoting patients’ health and supporting the development of safe and effective medicines. This process involves identifying, assessing, understanding, and preventing any problems arising from using medicines, including suspected adverse reactions.
What is an Adverse Event?
An adverse event is any response to a drug which is noxious and unintended.
At Italfarmaco, all information relevant to patient safety and the risk-benefit ratio of our products is continuously evaluated. In case important safety issues arise, if applicable, we promptly notify applicable regulatory agencies concerned in accordance with current legislation to safe guard the health of patients and evaluate together how to inform healthcare professionals.
