Pharmacovigilance (Pharmakon – drug, and vigilare – keep watch), also known as drug safety, relates to the collection,
detection,assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products.
As such, pharmacovigilance focuses on any adverse responses to a drug, including lack of efficacy. Medication errors such as overdose,
the misuse and abuse of a drug, as well as drug exposure during pregnancy and breastfeeding are also of interest.
Information received from patients and healthcare providers via pharmacovigilance agreements provides the data needed for it to take place.
Adverse event data received by the license holder must be submitted to the local drug regulatory authority to market
or to test a pharmaceutical product in most countries.
Arabian Ethicals conducts ongoing, comprehensive drug safety and pharmacovigilance audits to assess the compliance
of the products we manage against worldwide laws, regulations, and guidance.
