Home/Pharmacovigilance Programs

Post-market pharmacovigilance is essential for not only new products but also for well-established drugs. For over 20 years, we have been providing post-market pharmacovigilance support for drug and natural health products to ensure companies stay current with regulatory compliance for post-market surveillance for the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring and prevention of adverse drug reactions.

Services and Solutions

There is an obligation for marketing authorization holders to maintain a pharmacovigilance program. This means if your company imports and/or distributes DIN or NPN products your Quality Control Department must be able to receive, assess and where applicable report adverse events to Vigilance Canada within a prescribed time period depending on the nature of the event. With a full understanding of current and upcoming pharmacovigilance requirements, MCS offers the following services quickly and cost-effectively.
