Description
In response to growing public concern with health risks posed by approved drugs, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services announced a series of steps to address drug safety, including asking the IOM to convene a committee to assess the U.S. drug safety system and to make recommendations to improve risk assessment, surveillance, and the safe use of drugs.
In this report, the committee considered the drug safety system as the sum of all activities conducted by FDA and other stakeholders to monitor, evaluate, improve, and ensure drug safety.
