Medicine Safety

Pfizer employs more than two thousand medicine safety specialists around the world; research scientists, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, epidemiologists, and others. These colleagues work with regulatory authorities to understand, as precisely as possible, the risks and benefits of our medicines both before and after they are approved for doctors to prescribe for patients. We do this through the collection of adverse event reports, observational studies, and other activities, including independent safety studies we fund but are conducted by third party investigators on our behalf.

This pamphlet, "Safety Facts" summarizes these activities and provides insights into key areas of interest in the critical work of patient safety.
