The quality and safety of our companies’ products is our priority. The work starts with the design of their products to ensure they match requirements. Then they select raw materials and ingredients. These must be checked against their requirements to ensure purity, safety and efficacy. Finished products must also undergo testing before they can be sold
Our commitment to safety continues after products reach the marketplace. Our companies work to ensure products are used appropriately by:
- Monitoring safety data and conducting studies of products to identify potential safety issues
- Educating doctors and other health care professionals on the appropriate use of our prescription medicines and medical devices
- Helping people understand how to use medicines and health care products wisely
Sophisticated tools and systems help us to identify factors that may affect product quality, efficacy and safety. With this knowledge, we continually improve our product design and manufacturing processes.
The safety and quality of ingredients and materials is essential. Our companies use advanced technologies to bring the best and most effective health care products to our customers and patients. They also work with regulatory authorities around the world to ensure patient safety and that the environment is protected.
