This document discusses guidelines for pharmacovigilance (PV), which is the monitoring of drugs for safety issues. Some key points: - Clinical trials must have strict ethics and safety protocols to protect subjects and maintain trust. Post-approval monitoring is also important. - Marketing authorization holders are responsible for PV of their approved drugs. This includes reporting safety issues, having a qualified person responsible for PV, and maintaining a detailed PV system. - Competent authorities conduct inspections to ensure marketing authorization holders follow PV requirements. They also monitor for safety signals and ensure timely communication of issues.
