Pharmaceutical companies operate under strict pharmacovigilance (PV) regulations set by global agencies like the FDA, EMA, and MHRA. Yet, many organizations still rely on outdated manual PV processes, increasing their risk of non-compliance, regulatory penalties, and operational inefficiencies.
The Real Cost of Non-Compliance in PV
Ignoring compliance in pharmacovigilance isn’t just a legal issue—it’s a financial and reputational disaster. Companies that fail to meet regulatory requirements can face severe consequences that go beyond monetary fines.
Hefty Regulatory Fines
Regulatory agencies worldwide impose heavy fines for non-compliance with AE reporting and drug safety monitoring. Example: The FDA has fined pharma companies millions for failing to report adverse events within required timelines. These fines not only impact financial stability but also put additional scrutiny on the company’s entire pharmacovigilance process.
Delayed Market Approvals & Product Recalls
Failure to meet safety reporting requirements can delay drug approvals or even lead to product withdrawals, costing companies millions in lost revenue. A delayed approval means competitors gain an edge, and a recall can damage a brand’s market reputation permanently.
Reputational Damage & Loss of Trust
Non-compliance signals negligence. A history of delayed AE reporting or inaccurate case processing can harm a company’s credibility with regulators and the public. In an industry where trust is crucial, any compliance failure can significantly impact long-term business success.
