According to Volume 9A of The Rules Governing the Medicinal Products in the EU, the Marketing Authorisation Holder (MAH) of a medicinal product (including herbal medicines and strong vitamins/minerals) should:
- have a Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV)
- be able to report adverse events electronically via Eudravigilance and keep records of presumed adverse drug reactions
- prepare and submit Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSURs) to the national competent authorities
- perform weekly literature searches in order to identify publications, which include possible adverse drug reactions of which the MAH is expected to be aware of.
