Navigating Legal Reports in Pharmacovigilance: Challenges, Solutions, and Best Practices

Abstract

Legal reporting in pharmacovigilance plays a crucial role in ensuring drug safety, regulatory compliance, and ethical accountability. As pharmaceutical companies operate in a highly regulated environment, they must navigate complex legal frameworks while managing adverse event reports and safety concerns. The integration of legal reports into pharmacovigilance processes significantly impacts product labeling, risk assessment, and overall patient safety. However, challenges such as regulatory variations, data inconsistencies, and ethical considerations make legal reporting a demanding task. In this paper, we will explore the key challenges associated with handling legal reports in pharmacovigilance, examine existing regulatory frameworks and procedural solutions, and provide best practices for enhancing compliance and efficiency. We propose a structured approach to legal report management that includes improved interdisciplinary collaboration, regulatory alignment, and the adoption of best practices to streamline reporting processes while maintaining ethical integrity and compliance.
