Introduction

The safety, efficacy, and quality of veterinary products are critical to ensuring the health and well-being of animals. Whether it's pharmaceuticals, vaccines, or other veterinary products, companies must navigate complex regulations to bring their products to market and maintain compliance. Failure to comply can lead to product recalls, fines, or legal action. Maven offers comprehensive Veterinary Vigilance services designed to help companies overcome these regulatory challenges, safeguard animal health, and ensure product safety for both animals and humans.

Understanding the Importance of Veterinary Vigilance

Veterinary vigilance is the systematic monitoring of the safety of veterinary products throughout their lifecycle. This includes ongoing safety assessments, the collection and management of adverse event reports, and adherence to regulatory requirements. Given the significant impact veterinary products have on both animal and human health, it is crucial for companies in the veterinary industry to comply with global regulatory requirements. Key regulatory bodies overseeing veterinary medicine include:

  • US FDA Centre for Veterinary Medicine (CVM): Regulates the manufacture and distribution of veterinary drugs, devices, and foods, including monitoring adverse events and drug safety.
  • European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee for Veterinary Medicinal Products (CVMP): Evaluates and monitors veterinary medicines in the EU to ensure their safety and efficacy.
  • US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS): Oversees animal health, welfare, and the effectiveness of veterinary products.

Navigating these regulations across multiple jurisdictions can be complex, requiring a coordinated approach. Maven's Veterinary Vigilance services help ensure that veterinary companies remain compliant, mitigate risks, and maintain high standards of safety and quality.
