Pharmacovigilance is a scientific and practical activity related to identification, evaluation, understanding and prevention of adverse reactions or other possible drug-associated problems. Pharmacovigilance system works in strict adherence to international directives and Ukrainian legislation. For monitoring and further in-depth study of drugs safety in the market, a spontaneous reporting system for adverse reactions is used.
The system includes collection of information from all subjects of treatment with the medicinal product (patients, pharmacists, physicians, etc.) in conditions of real clinical practice. This approach:
– allows us to study the peculiarities of the impact of drugs on patients
– makes possible to reveal rare adverse effects,
– reveals previously unexplored facts of interaction with other drugs,
– allows to study the impact of drugs in vulnerable groups of people who were not involved in clinical studies.
What are the tasks of the pharmacovigilance service?
- Collection and evaluation of information on adverse reactions;
- Informing of the State Expert Center about adverse reactions occurring on the territory of Ukraine and abroad;
- Development of risk minimization plans;
- Personnel training for the principles of pharmacovigilance;
- Pharmacovigilance for commercial activities of the company;
- Security monitoring in international and local clinical trials conducted by the company.
