Description

The detection and investigation of the effects of the use of Veterinary Medicinal Products (VMPs) is described as pharmacovigilance, with a major focus on animal safety and efficacy, as well as human safety. Pharmacovigilance (PV) is a science that focuses on detecting, assessing, understanding, and preventing adverse effects or other drug-related problems. It was created to track Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) over the course of a drug's life cycle. Veterinary Pharmacovigilance (PV) is critical for medicines used to treat diseases in animals. It is even more critical when these animals are employed to produce food. Adverse Drug Responses (ADRs) have a direct impact on animals and a secondary influence on humans, such as through milk and other animal-based food products. Currently, India's PV programme is critical in determining the safety of pharmaceuticals in the Indian population. Veterinary PV can analyse the safety of medicine in animals. Animal research institutes and veterinary clinics might be considered ADR monitoring facilities for determining the safety of drugs in animals.

Veterinary pharmacovigilance relies heavily on communication to promote reasonable, safe, and effective use of pharmaceuticals while also protecting animal and public health and the environment. In this subsystem of the framework on veterinary good pharmacovigilance practitioners, communication refers to the active dissemination of veterinary pharmacovigilance information, including specific safety information on medicinal products used in animals, for an intended audience, particularly in the public domain, from marketing authorization holders, competent authorities, and the Agency, with a specific focus on veterinarians (VGVP). The principles may be amended as needed, based on sound judgment and experience, to fit the specific needs for communicating on a given veterinary pharmacovigilance issue. The overarching principle of pharmacovigilance communication is to communicate relevant, clear, accurate, consistent, and timely information to the appropriate audience so that they can take appropriate action.

Effective veterinary pharmacovigilance communication can boost public trust in the regulatory system and is consistent with the principles of veterinary medicinal product transparency. While preparing communication, the marketing authorization holders and regulatory authorities (and other partners as applicable) should consult, collaborate, and coordinate, as this is beneficial to all parties concerned and essential for delivering uniform information across the Union.

Direct animal health professional communication is a threat tool that allows a marketing authorization holder, a competent authority, or the Agency to communicate important and potentially new veterinary pharmacovigilance information directly to individual veterinarians and other animal healthcare professionals. When veterinarians and other animal healthcare professionals need specific advice, recommendations, or information about a veterinary pharmacovigilance concern, they are sent direct animal healthcare professional communications. These communications may require them to take specific actions or adapt their practices in relation to the administration of a medicinal product for use in animals.

The production of direct animal healthcare professional communication requires collaboration between holders of marketing authorizations and responsible authorities. Before being distributed, direct animal healthcare professional communications developed by marketing authorization holders on their own initiative or upon request should be approved by the competent authorities or the Agency. A statement on the agreement between the marketing authorization holder and the responsible authority on the information provided should be included in the direct animal healthcare professional communication. Direct animal healthcare professional communications should be published on the websites of the concerned competent authority and marketing authorization holders, as applicable, and via any other communication tool that appears useful in the specific situation, in addition to veterinarians and other animal healthcare professionals.
