About This Book
Completely revised and updated, Cobert's Manual of Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance, Third Edition, is a how-to manual for those working in the fields of drug safety, clinical research, pharmacology, regulatory affairs, risk management, quality/compliance, and in government and legal professions.
This comprehensive and practical guide discusses the theory and the practicalities of drug safety (also known as pharmacovigilance), and provides essential information on drug safety and regulations in the United States, Europe Union, and more, including: recognizing, monitoring, reporting, and cataloging serious adverse drug reactions.
Cobert's Manual of Drug Safety and Pharmacovigilance, Third Edition, teaches the daily practice of drug safety in industry, hospitals, the FDA and other health agencies — both in the United States and around the world — and provides critical information about what to do when confronted with a drug safety problem.

The Theory and Definitions of Drug Safety — Pharmacovigilance
The Theory
Adverse Event (AE) — ICH
Initialism | Interpretation |
AE | Adverse Event, sometimes Adverse Drug Event (ADE) or, for FDA, also means Adverse Experience |
API | Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient |
AR | Adverse Reaction, sometimes Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) |
CCSI | Company Core Safety Information |
CFR | Code of Federal Regulations, for US |
DCSI | Development Core Safety Information |
GVP | Good Pharmacovigilance Practice, for Post-marketing in the EU |
ICH | International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (formerly International Conference on Harmonization) |
IME | Important Medical Event |
SAE | Serious Adverse Event |
SAR | Suspected Adverse Reaction, sometimes Serious Adverse Reaction |
SADR | Serious Adverse Drug Reaction, sometimes Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction, neither of which is currently in common use |
SUSAR | Serious Unexpected Suspected Adverse Reaction, used in the EU trials and outside the US; similar in concept to FDA’s Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction (no initialism for FDA) |
NSAE | Non-serious Adverse Event |
NSAR | Non-serious Adverse Reaction |
