PHARMACOVIGILANCE

 

The Pharmacovigilance has been defined by the World Health Organisation as “The science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem”.

To the benefit of all the companies of the Group, the Pharmacovigilance service of I.B.N. Savio, performed by people with a significant experience of medicinal products, medical devices and food supplements, operates with the final purpose of constantly monitoring the tolerability profile of its medicinal products over the whole lifecycle, collecting all the adverse reactions reports, even if relative to well-known effects, potentially associated to a medicine use.

What is meant by adverse reaction? 

An adverse reaction is a noxious and unintended response to a drug product:
▪ used according to the directions contained in the marketing authorisation, or

 

▪ not used according to the directions contained in the marketing authorisation (including overdosage, misuse, abuse, therapeutical mistakes), or
▪ associated to the exposition due to professional reasons.

Please find below the way reporting of suspected adverse reactions can be made:

Healthcare operators and/or citizens can notify suspected adverse reactions to the competent Authority (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco- AIFA):
- by filling the file (in electronic or paper form) to be sent to the Responsible of Pharmacovigilance and sending it to the Responsible of Pharmacovigilance of the local structure or to the MA holder of the medicinal product suspected for the adverse reaction. The MA holder shall take care of sending the file to the Responsible of Pharmacovigilance of the local structure.

Such Responsibles of Pharmacovigilance shall insert the reports of suspected adverse reactions into the National Pharmacovigilance Network. This way a constant and continuous monitoring of the adverse reactions and safety of use of the medicinal products shall be performed.
