long-term safety

Long-term safety refers to the evaluation of how a product, such as a medication or medical device, affects individuals over extended periods. It involves monitoring and assessing potential risks or adverse effects that may develop after prolonged use. This ensures that the benefits of the product continue to outweigh any possible health concerns, providing confidence in its continued use safely over months or years. In essence, long-term safety helps determine whether a product is safe for ongoing use, preventing unexpected health problems from emerging after initial use or over time.
