Q. The law of my country requires us to report an adverse event caused by a Company product regardless of where it occurred. But, the standard industry practice in the country is only to report an adverse event when it happens within the country. The regulators won’t accept reports about adverse events that occur outside their jurisdiction. What should I do?

A. Schering-Plough reports all adverse events and follows the law of the country, no matter what the industry practice is. You should contact Global Pharmacovigilance so that the event can be formally reported in every jurisdiction where it is required. Animal Health-related adverse events should be reported to Animal Health Regulatory Affairs in your country.
