Description
This workshop will be presented in a live interactive video stream that will allow for real-time Q&A.
Despite the inherently wide margin of safety for FDA regulated homeopathic drugs and dietary supplements, product related safety issues can arise. Current regulatory requirements for mandatory reporting of serious adverse events were designed to help regulators identify the most egregious of safety issues. But simply meeting regulatory requirements may not aid the manufacturer in the detection and mitigation of the most serious threats affecting a company’s product and brand. This presentation reviews best practice post market surveillance at a corporate level, and how implementation can aid in the detection, management, and mitigation of the most serious product safety threats a company may face.

What You Will Learn:
- Key principles behind Best Practice Post Market Surveillance
- To think outside the box in the application of safety signal detection
- How to identify and separate “background noise” from emerging threats when analyzing spontaneously reported adverse events
- How to package and communicate the adverse event experience into a positive product safety message
