Therapeutic Innovation, Long-term Pharmacovigilance Challenge Inovação Terapêutica, um Desafio de Farmacovigilância a Longo Prazo

Abstract

In pharmacovigilance, the existence of a proactive and post-marketing constant monitoring system for the drug is fundamental for the identification of drug related problems, mainly in therapeutic innovation. All medicinal products authorized in the EU are monitored permanently through so-called pharmacovigilance systems. It will always be necessary to monitor and control the effects of innovativation, especially in prolonged periods of treatment, which makes pharmacovigilance a long-term task.
