REMS assessments

REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies) assessments are tools used by healthcare providers to ensure that certain medicines are used safely. They help manage potential risks associated with these drugs by providing specific safety measures, like special training for prescribers, patient education, or restrictions on how the medication is dispensed. The goal is to minimize harm while allowing patients to benefit from these treatments. Regular assessments of the REMS program help ensure the safety strategies are effective and necessary, balancing the medication’s benefits with its risks.
