Not all details in ICSRs should be visible - and not all should be hidden.
Since July 2025, the 🇪🇺EMA has enforced new rules on handling personal data in ICSRs. Some fields must be masked, some left blank, and others remain visible - because patient safety depends on it.

💡The new EMA guidance on masking of personal data in pharmacovigilance changes the way we balance data protection with drug safety.

In pharmacovigilance, we track what drugs patients take, when, and how much. But how often do we consider how fast the drug 💉is infused?

🚨Infusion rate can be the difference between a routine therapy and a sudden, life-threatening reaction. Yet, most ADR reports don’t capture this crucial detail - meaning critical clues to causality may slip through the cracks.

Most of us think about drug safety in terms of side effects while taking 💊medications. But what happens when a patient stops a drug - sometimes abruptly, without medical advice?

Drug discontinuation 🚫abruptly can cause serious risks like withdrawal and rebound effects, which are often overlooked in drug safety. For pharmacovigilance specialists, monitoring doesn’t end at the last dose.

In pharmacovigilance, waiting for perfect data can cost lives. That’s why precautionary measures - early, decisive steps taken by regulatory authorities - are essential to managing emerging 💊drug safety risks.

🔥Our latest blog post on the DrugCard platform explores a compelling real-world example where global agencies swiftly responded to serious adverse events linked to a vaccine, protecting vulnerable 👵🏻populations while investigations were ongoing.

Not all adverse💊 drug reactions come from the drug itself.

📄The latest article on the DrugCard platform blog dives into the nocebo effect - how patient 🧠expectations can mimic real adverse drug reactions, complicate pharmacovigilance, and lead to therapy failure: https://drug-card.io/blog/nocebo-effect-or-when-the-mind-becomes-the-side-effect/

💡This psychological phenomenon is more common than you think - and it’s quietly impacting drug safety data.

Preparing an ACO isn't just regulatory - it's storytelling.
It's where we tell the story of a drug: how it grew, what challenges it faced, and how safe and effective it remained over time. It's almost like describing a 👶child's development - only with clinical trials, PSURs, and global safety data.

📁Our latest blog post explores why the ACO is essential for MA renewals and variations: https://drug-card.io/blog/addendum-to-the-clinical-overview-supporting-safety-decisions/

📍And don't forget: innovative and intelligent tools make the process easier. With 𝙎𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙗𝙮 𝘿𝙧𝙪𝙜𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙙🔥, specialists can quickly find relevant literature to support safety assessments.
