GVP (Good Pharmacovigilance Practices)

Good Pharmacovigilance Practices (GVP) are guidelines that ensure medicines are monitored after they’re on the market to guarantee their safety. These practices involve systematic collection, analysis, and management of reports about side effects or other safety concerns. The goal is to quickly identify any risks associated with medicines, so regulators, manufacturers, and healthcare providers can take appropriate actions—like updating warnings or restricting use—to protect public health. Essentially, GVP helps ensure that medicines remain safe for everyone from their approval through their entire lifecycle.
