“Post-marketing studies and drug safety” – Dr. Christof Prugger (Berlin)

• Description: “Drugs should be effective and safe, also in the long-term widespread use. Therefore, it is important for the efficacy and safety of medications to be demonstrated also after approval in so-called post-marketing studies (PMS). PMS should add to pharmacovigilance by assessing the risks and benefits of authorized drugs under real life conditions. This BEMC talk will focus on the current practice of PMS in Germany and Europe. It will emphasize methodological aspects of drug safety evaluation.”
• Location: Seminar room of the Neurology Clinic (follow our signs); Bonhoefferweg 3 entrance, 3^rd floor, Charité – Campus Mitte, à See: Campus Map
