    From a career prospect PV has gained importance over last few years. as PV processes are being outsourced to India. Periodic SAFETY reports are to be submitted to regulators, without any exception. hence pharma companies ate always looking at outsourcing partners with optimum benefits. At present India is a hot destination.

    Pharmacovigilance(drug safety) can be defined as the study and prevention of adverse effects caused by pharmaceutical products. Pharmacovigilance is the reason that many drugs are withdrawn from or not even brought into the market at times.
