Pharmacovigilance and Regulatory Affairs

Integration of PV with Quality and Regulatory Affairs

Integrating pharmacovigilance with quality management and regulatory affairs creates a cohesive ecosystem that supports comprehensive drug safety oversight. These disciplines often operate in parallel, yet their alignment is essential for lifecycle management, risk mitigation, and compliance continuity. Collaboration ensures that safety data informs regulatory submissions, label changes, and manufacturing practices in real time. Quality systems contribute by managing deviations, CAPAs (Corrective and Preventive Actions), and audits that intersect with pharmacovigilance processes. Simultaneously, regulatory affairs teams guide timely submissions of safety updates, PSURs, and risk communication materials in alignment with global guidelines.

A unified approach promotes data consistency, enhances decision-making, and minimizes compliance gaps. Shared platforms, cross-functional SOPs, and regular joint reviews foster synchronization and accountability. With increasing regulatory scrutiny and product complexity, integration supports end-to-end traceability and a robust safety culture across the organization.
