Medical Literature Monitoring Services - Overview
Medical literature is a critical source of information for suspected adverse reaction case reports. With stringent regulations, Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs) must integrate this safety data into their Pharmacovigilance (PV) practices. The quality of Medical literature monitoring significantly impacts ICSRs, periodic Literature Reports, and the detection of new safety signals, which are all essential for the Benefit-Risk Evaluation (BRE) of medicinal products.
Shortcomings in the Literature Review Process can impact a MAH’s overall pharmacovigilance activities, affecting regulatory compliance and company reputation. As part of our comprehensive Medical Literature Monitoring Services, Freyr assists organizations with specialized solutions. Our team ensures safety is consistently monitored, from identifying ICSRs and signals through Literature Screening to providing information for Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs).
