Pharmacovigilance Services - Overview

Pharmacovigilance and drug safety are important functions within life sciences companies, and hence, they require expert pharmacovigilance services. Pharmacovigilance (PV), also known as drug safety pharmacovigilance, relates to two (2) major aspects of any drug formulation/medical intervention with therapeutic benefit, safety, and efficacy. The first is to know whether a drug works, and the second is to decode its safety.

The spectrum of pharmacovigilance services is majorly divided into pharmacovigilance operations, pharmacovigilance surveillance, pharmacovigilance databases and systems, and Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV).

Often, companies choose to outsource end-to-end drug safety pharmacovigilance services from a PV specialist provider for the following two (2) reasons:

The cost of internalizing all the functions is a burden due to the unpredictable volume of incoming reports This variability necessitates a shift-left approach to effectively manage the workload.
Internal resources need to focus on strategic initiatives over functional activities.

When choosing your safety partner, it is important that the partner is a beacon for end-to-end drug safety & pharmacovigilance services and has the experience and the skill set to handle such a huge task.
