Pharmacovigilance Project

 A Simple Innovative Modification in the PharmacoVigilance  Process Shows Great Improvement in  Data Accuracy .Introduction of an additional Quality Control (QC) process,  using internally  developed QC metrics made the PharmacoVigilance data much more accurate and much beyond expectation.

Post-marketing surveillance (PMS) is needed to monitor the safety of drugs in the uncontrolled , real- world and post-approval environment. Pharmaceutical companies often outsource these pharmacoVigilance activities to CROs due to resource and time constraints. CliniLife performed PMS for one of the best Sites and pharmaceutical companies located in INDIA.

CliniLife looking for candidates for internship to perform PMS (Pharmacovigilance project work).

online drug alert system by Jan 2011-good initiative by GUJRAT govt

The Gujarat Food & Drugs Control Administration, (FDCA) will soon implement the self-licensing software in its food and drug laboratory. The new software is designed to implement an online drug alert system, which will enable the FDCA to alert the retailers on any adverse report on the batch to batch test reports released by the drug testing laboratory through short message services (SMS). The same system is also followed in the US, however in US the retailers are alerted on the not-of-standard drugs reports through e-mail.

H G Koshia, commissioner, FDCA informed that they have already started with the process and it is expected to be complete by the first week of January 2011. The main aim behind implementing this new system is to ensure the safety of the consumers at large by making it more consumer friendly.

The decision to implement this software was taken by FDCA after deliberating with the service providers and other officers on the benefits of having this technology expanded to its food and drugs lab followed by a live demo, in a meeting that was conducted on December 22. The National Informatics Centre (NIC), the agency under which the software is developed, will provide the software whereas Vodafone will be the mobile phone service provider to implement this programme.

ANCA/MPO/PR3 Antibodies

Why Get Tested?
To test for certain autoimmune disorders, such as Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), microscopic polyangitis (MPA), and a number of others
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor thinks that you have symptoms that may be due to a vascular autoimmune disorder; sometimes to monitor response to therapy
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
How is it used?
An ANCA test is ordered to evaluate someone who has symptoms that may be due to autoimmune vasculitis. It may be ordered by itself or along with two other tests that are used to distinguish between different autoimmune disorders. These include:
MPO antibodies
PR3 antibodies
Additional tests that may be performed to aid in a diagnosis include ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) to check for inflammation, CBC (complete blood count) to measure and evaluate white and red blood cells, and urinalysis, BUN (blood urea nitrogen), and creatinine to evaluate kidney function.

Sometimes an ANCA test may be ordered to monitor the response to therapy, follow the course of the disease, and/or to detect a relapse.
