Pharma-covigilance
Pharmacovigilance or drug safety is a key part of any ethical Pharmaceutical, Biotech or Clinical Research Organisation. It is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or issues that affect the safety and safe use of medicines.
Pharmacovigilance activities may confirm the safety profile observed during development, or be used to characterise a better safety profile than a comparator product. It should not only be restricted to early signal detection.
Pharmacovigilance is a highly specialized part of the industry and most people who work in this area have a strong background in the life sciences, pharmacology, pharmacy or are a trained medical doctor.
