Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance, or monitoring of drug safety, is the science and activity aimed at identifying, evaluating and preventing adverse reactions (HP) or any other possible problems associated with drugs. The pharmacovigilance system is one of the components of the quality management system (QMS), which operates in accordance with the international standard ISO 9001-2015.

The holders of registration certificates must create and ensure conditions for the functioning of an effective pharmacovigilance system within the organization in order to increase the organization’s responsibility for the quality and safety of drugs, as well as to take timely, if necessary, adequate measures aimed at improving the safety of drugs.
