Pharmacovigilance – information for marketing authorisation holders

Pharmacovigilance is a key public health activity to safeguard and maximise the safety of medicines. Its mission is to continuously monitor the benefit-risk balance of medicines throughout their complete life cycle in order to identify and assess any changes in the benefit-risk balance, and to set out measures, when necessary, to prevent or minimise risks and maximise the benefits of medicine use.

Another goal of pharmacovigilance is proactive risk management, during which potential, unknown or unclarified risks of medicines are identified and further investigated via well-designed and thorough information gathering in order to identify measures for the prevention or timely management of such risks.
