    Pharmacovigilance. Update Adverse Reactions in Japan (Hydroxyzine hydrochloride, Hydroxyzine pamoate)

    News by admin

    Pharmacovigilance. Update Adverse Reactions in Japan (Hydroxyzine hydrochloride, Hydroxyzine pamoate)

    In order to maintain the safety of the patients, Agencies around the world are continuously updating their requirements. As a result of the adverse effects that a drug may have in the user. In this case, Japan published a new requirement in the clinically significant adverse reactions section. The active substance included are Hydroxyzine hydrochloride and Hydozyzine pamoate. PMDA asks for a revision of the package insert of the product following their indications (see below).

    Due to reported cases of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis in patients treated with hydroxyzine hydrochloride or hydroxyzine pamoate. Including Japan and overseas. For example, United States package insert had a revision. Consequently, an investigation result based on the opinions of expert advisors and the available evidence, the MHLW/PMDA concluded that revision of the package insert was necessary.

    In the Clinically Significant Adverse Reactions subsection of the Adverse Reactions section, PMDA asks to include the following text: “Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis may occur. Patients should be carefully monitored. If any abnormalities are observed, administration of this drug should be discontinued and appropriate measures should be adopted.”

    Likewise, if you want more information about the topic, you can see the Summary of investigation results and Revision of Precautions.

    Why is the EPAR important? How can it save you a lot of time and struggle during your registration?

     

    First of all, when the EPAR is published it usually comes along with SmPC, PIL and labels. For instance, You can use these documents as reference for your medical writing. It will save you time but also, EMA  recommends the use of approved  products as reference to ensure consistency. Secondly, once you have to present the Consultation with Target Patient Groups you won’t have to do a full readability testing. If you have other products registered and approved, you can use one of the mockups as a reference and perform a Double Bridging Report. If you don’t know how, get in contact with us, we can help you with it.

    Last but not least, SmPC, PIL and labelling is published in all official EU languages. What does it mean? As a result of the use of part of the original text,  you will be able to update the documentation in the target languages easily. Consequently, you are having the same question again. Yes, we also can help you with that. Our translators with pharmaceutical and medical background are ready to perform any update according to EMA and local requirements. Since all of our translators only translate into their native language, this ensures consistency and coherence.

    Update multi-language labelling in EU

    News by admin

    Update multi-language labelling EU

    Looks like January was a productive month for CMDh. On their last meeting they have agreed to publish a set of links with special guidance on update multi-language labelling EU developed by some Member States. The update of multi-language labelling in EU will be available under “Product Information” on their website section.

    As an illustration, if you have products in Finland, Sweden or Belgium, this is a great piece of news. Regarding those countries, multi language packaging is mandatory. Especially, when you are preparing your SmPC, PIL and Labels. You have to focus not only in content and current QRD but also in the local guidelines and recommendations. With this in mind, it is especially tricky on those countries where labelling is in different languages as you have to check different sources. Finally, most of the information of EU regarding this topic will be centralized.

    Baupharma is a service provider for pharmaceutical companies, covering Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance and Business Development. Our regions of expertise are EU, CIS and MENA.

    Second Edition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science

    Last Saturday, 11th of February, it was the Second Edition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Indeed, science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals. Over the past 15 years, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science.

    Unfortunately, women and girls are still excluded from participating fully in science.

    Probably, you are more than aware in your daily life, but, in order to give you some figures, the probability for students of graduating with a Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree and Doctor’s degree in science-related field are (respectably):

    • Female students
      • 18%
      • 8%
      • 2%
    • Male students
      • 37%
      • 18%
      • 6%.

    (Study made in 14 countries)

    In order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

    Here in Baupharma, we want to celebrate, remember and encourage all women and girls that worked and work in Science. Also, we want to stress the importance and support your success. Thank you for all your achievements, you are building a better version of the world. As a result, this is not only Science, this is a civil and social work too. That all women, and most of the men, are pleased to welcome.

    Furthermore, as we work in Science field, we like to take this opportunity to specially thank all our colleagues, partners and friends in the sector. It has been and is a pleasure to see your accomplishments and work with you. We hope many more are coming.

    Following the quote of Linda B. Buck in this occasion, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2004:

    “As a woman in science, I sincerely hope that my receiving a Nobel Prize will senda a message to young women everywhere that the doors are open to them and they should follow their dreams”.

    EMA published the updated EPAR for Uptravi (selexipag): SmPC, PIL and Labels in all EU languages

    News by admin

    If you are thinking about registering a product with selexipag as active substance, finally: it’s your lucky day! EMA has published their last update of the EPAR for Uptravi film-coated tablets (selexipag). And contains full SmPC, PIL and labelling. Especially relevant as it is an approved reference document in all EU languages. Consequently, it will save you time, struggle and will minimize your risks and costs of registration.

    Why is the EPAR important? How can it save you a lot of time and struggle during your registration?

    First of all, when the EPAR is published it usually comes along with SmPC, PIL and lables. You can use these documents as reference for your medical writing. It will save you time but also, EMA  recommends the use of approved  products as reference to ensure consistency.

Yes, we also can help you with that. Our translators with pharmaceutical and medical background are ready to perform any update according to EMA and local requirements. Since all of our translators only translate into their native language, this ensures consistency and coherence.

    Uptravi

    Uptravi is a medicine that contains the active substance selexipag. It acts on blood vessels in a similar way to the natural substance prostacyclin, making them relax and widen. Uptravi is used for the long-term treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in adult patients insufficiently controlled with other types of medicines for PAH known as endothelin receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.

    Uptravi can be used on its own if the patient is not a candidate for these medicines. PAH is high blood pressure in the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs (the pulmonary arteries). In people with PAH, these arteries narrow, so the heart has to work harder to pump blood through them. This may cause people to feel tired, dizzy, short of breath, or experience other symptoms. By mimicking the action of prostacyclin, Uptravi widens the pulmonary arteries and reduces their hardening. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood through the pulmonary arteries. It relieves the symptoms of PAH and improves the course of the disease.

    You can find the last version of the EPAR for Uptravi (selexipag) at EMA website
