Post-market surveillance (PMS) is the continuous monitoring of medications after they have been approved and released to the market. It ensures ongoing safety and effectiveness for all patients. Key Aspects of Post-Market Surveillance: ☑️Adverse Event Reporting: Collection and analysis of reports on side effects and adverse reactions from healthcare providers and patients. ☑️Safety Updates: Regular updates and reviews of medication safety profiles to identify new risks or side effects. ☑️Regulatory Actions: Issuing warnings, revising labels, or even withdrawing medications if new evidence shows they are unsafe. ☑️Real-World Data: Gathering information on how drugs perform in broader, diverse populations beyond controlled clinical trials. ☑️Patient Engagement: Encouraging patients to report any adverse effects to improve drug safety and efficacy. ☑️Global Efforts: International cooperation helps standardize PMS practices, ensuring medications are safe for everyone, everywhere. #PharmaRegulations #PostMarketSurveillance #DrugSafety #PublicHealth #Healthcare

These figures are scary especially when considering this is with respect to just ONE #CompetentAuthority. Imagine how this adds up across the #EU? It's disappointing that there are people out there who are praying on the vulnerable to make a 'fast buck' without any care about causing distress, harm or even, fatalities. We can all support our Regulators by keeping an eye out for #FalsifiedMedicines and #FakeMedicines and reporting as appropriate. We must all be #Vigilant. #HereToHelp

🔴 One of the most pressing problems facing public health providers and administrators in many countries is ensuring the rational use of drugs. 💡One mechanism to ensure correct prescribing and use is the drug utilization review (DUR) process. 🔶"Drug Utilization Review" An Authorised structure ongoing review of prescribing dispensing and use of evaluation. 🔰Objectives of DUR; ◽ Evaluating effectiveness of therapy. ◽ Preventing medication error. ◽ Enhancing responsibility in medicine use process. ◽ Identifying areas in which further information, knowledge is required by healthcare providers. ◽ Controlling medication cost. 👇 Below are the Guidelines of implementation of DUR in Hospitals.

The statistics are alarming, particularly when you think about the implications regarding only a SINGLE #CompetentAuthority. Have you considered the cumulative effect across the #EU? It's disheartening to realise that some individuals exploit the vulnerable for quick financial gain, completely disregarding the potential for distress, harm, or even death. We can contribute to the efforts of our Regulators by being alert to #FalsifiedMedicines and #FakeMedicines and reporting any suspicions. It's important now more than ever for everyone to remain #Vigilant.
