Product management
In pharmacovigilance, a product refers to a medicinal product or drug that is being monitored for its safety and efficacy. The product can be a prescription drug, biologic, vaccine, herbal medicine, or any other health-related product that is used to diagnose, treat, prevent, or alleviate medical conditions in humans.
In the PV application, under the PRODUCT tab, you can configure a custom library of products also known as the Company Drug Dictionary (CDD) that defines products that can meet regulatory requirements and internal reporting obligations for global organizations.
