Overview

Offering the best pharmacovigilance systems management

Maintaining trial integrity and post-marketing surveillance are tasks entrusted to our human pharmacovigilance experts. Our responsibilities further extend to providing support in veterinary pharmacovigilance.

We set up pharmacovigilance systems focused on evaluating and managing safety issues related to the benefit-risk balance of human medicines and veterinary medicinal products.

“We care about your health and safety”

Pharmacovigilance is a shared responsibility between healthcare professionals and patients. All possible information about medicines must be shared to achieve their optimal utilization. Identifying known or unknown serious adverse reactions as quickly as possible will help prevent or reduce their frequency and severity.

Under the umbrella of the latest Human and Veterinary GVP regulations, our highly skilled and experienced staff provides a reliable and flexible pharmacovigilance service driven by the establishment of a systematized workflow based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

QualitecFarma® works with FIH (First in Human), generic drugs, Biotech and Biosimilars, as well as over-the-counter drugs. The drug development process is critical, and we are at the forefront of new advances in research and development incorporating the latest technologies.

We have also played a key role in the establishment of foreign investment in Spain from drug development and clinical support to the registration of medicinal products for companies without presence in the country.

Clinical operations are key to the success of our projects. Our clinical trials conducted in different sites worldwide are evidence of the far-reaching strong partnership between QualitecFarma® and clients. We incorporate all the different phases according to the necessity of the client and the project, emphasising flexibility to accommodate their requirements.

Our support extends to post-marketing pharmacovigilance, ensuring a safety monitoring process, handling regulatory affairs, and assuring quality in our work.

As the world takes a progressive step towards more revolutionary medical technology, we at QualitecFarma® partake in the grand effort to unleash the innovative breakthroughs carried out through the projects we have with our clients.

The process may be complex and strict, but we serve as strategic guides on the path to obtaining a quality final product. Part of that journey includes tasks such as performing analytical and clinical performance studies (the ability of IVD medical devices to detect or measure certain samples, and having those devices successfully realise their purpose as intended). Further services from our experts include dossier creation and submission.

We take part in different qualification projects for the creation and auditing of quality systems, according to ISO 13485, to ensure compliance with the latest
regulations. Our goal is to bring to the market, cutting edge smart solutions that deliver value.

Veterinary medicines have undergone massive developments over these past years. Regulatory affairs and pharmacovigilance have become strong pillars in animal health.

The uses of veterinary medicinal products and their impact on the environment and animals, even on humans, require monitoring.

Though ever-evolving, the legislation aims to reduce the administrative burden and strengthen the scientific background of pharmacovigilance. Our customizable and client-tailored veterinary post-marketing pharmacovigilance services englobe all strides to ensure compliance with legislation and dealing with possible safety issues linked to the benefit/risk balance of every veterinary medicinal product.

Our continued participation in projects for the establishment of synergies and strategic alliances ensures the success and improved development in this area. The regulatory activity in the veterinary field is also a vital support for companies in animal care and therapeutics, along with the guarantee of quality in our work.

We have developed our activity working with companies dealing with food supplements, dietetic products, novel foods, etc. In general, these are products whose use and regulation is gradually more strictly regulated.

Technology moves forward faster than regulations. Their demand applied nowadays to all products for human use make it difficult to launch certain products when their classification is being hampered by the technology applied.

QualitecFarma® provides support to the companies for the registration, authorisation, and notification of placing on the market for products that, without being medicinal products or medical devices, or even cosmetic products, require very strict approaches of registration and approval for granting their authorisation by the Health Authorities.

We evaluate and study the possibilities of development, authorisation, and marketing for the products based on the applicable regulations, determining their legal viability.

Cosmetics are key components of our care, health, and wellness-related activities. However, cosmetics can also arise undesirable and adverse effects which must be monitored. For that reason, today, the safety of cosmetic products must be also controlled under a high-quality post-marketing surveillance.

The Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 in the European Union (EU) upholds cosmetovigilance, establishing as its main purpose the management of undesirable effects and safety issues, involving their collection, assessment, monitoring, and understanding of their nature and future prevention.

QualitecFarma® provides support and services to comply with cosmetovigilance legislation. We have a large experience in the development of the safety and value dossier for cosmetics where quality and safety are the definition of a cosmetic product, through scientific evaluations and cosmetovigilance.

QualitecFarma® is open committed to the new health related technologies. We encompass additional areas of expertise including latest up-to-date technologies such as:

  • Life-therapeutic biologics (LTBs)
  • Probiotics
  • Biocides
  • Parapharmaceuticals
  • Nutraceuticals
