We all know that it is very much necessary for an organisation to produce safe drugs so that they don't create any negative effect on patients since the readily availability of safer and more effective medicines of good quality inspires confidence and trust among patients.

Drug safety is an essential task to underpin the reliable availability of sound medicines and it needs to be understood, supported and promoted at the highest levels.

So I want to ask you people, what safety standards do you think the organisations should keep in mind in the production of drugs?

Ensuring drug safety standards performed on a regular basis to avoid punitive measures.

idea posted by Bindu Narayan Product Development Manager, Care Biomedicals

Keep abreast of all the new safety reporting requirements so that you can run an efficient compliant safety department and plan an effective surveillance system to monitor potential new signals and readjust risk/benefit for your products.

Drug safety guidelines are given by US FDA and it is proven to be standard all over world. Implementation of these guidelines are more important to ensure safety. In India, very few plants have US FDA approval. Also, using good quality (Grade) row material for manufacturing is the key to produce good quality drugs.  Their must be check point during each process (quality control & assurance) and final product must be strictly approved by FDA of India before it comes to the market. There are many companies who produce spurious drugs and has very strong distribution network in India.

Improving safety standards with regular inspections by regulatory agencies.

idea posted by Sanjay Saha Product/Brand Manager, Dr Reddy Labs

Organisations should understand safety requirements and prepare for the increasing number of pharmacovigilance inspections conducted by regulatory agencies. Standard operation procedures (SOPs) should be written to cover the various aspects of drug safety and staffs should be advised on the requirements of safety reporting. A seamless approach should be provided to drug safety for products undergoing both clinical and post-marketing assessments.

Structure and policy changes with resource problems

idea posted by Ratnakar Naik General Practitioner, Apollo Group

It may require structural and policy changes within the drug regulatory authorities. Moreover, a lot of sensitization and setting up of new systems will consume resources such as good labs, patient's ability to pay for tests, infrastructure for proper causality assessment, identification of funding agency and certainty of funding, etc.
