(KADCEM)
Pharmacovigilance
Audit/Inspection Workshop
Background
The history of drug withdrawals is filled with public
& press attention directed towards people who were
harmed by the adverse drug reactions. Such attention,
however, has moved to documenting the frequency of
adverse events & means for managing them effectively.
International regulatory guidelines on pharmacovigilance
(PV) & risk management plans are increasing. Companies
are now turning their efforts towards auditing their premarketing & post-marketing safety monitoring practices
to ensure that they comply with Good Pharmacovigilance
Practices (GPvP).
PV audit/inspection processes are based on a robust
approach that embraces key PV principles required
in every regulatory authority & pharmaceutical
company. It lines up a company’s procedures with
the regulatory authorities’ increasing demands for
solid safety monitoring systems. Every PV function
will experience governmental or health authority
inspections as well as audits by license partners,
internal auditors & others.
Therefore, this workshop was designed to address the
need for optimum PV systems & processes that meet
regulatory expectations in any operating PV function.
It will concentrate on the criteria & methods of
preparation for a PV audit / inspection from the time
of the receipt of the notice to the final conclusion of
the audit or inspection procedure.
Workshop topics

PV regulations in EU, & USA.

Pharmacovigilance in Arab Countries.

The difference between audit & inspection

