The Bulletin on Drug Safety is a cooperation between the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte, BfArM) and the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI). The quarterly publication provides information from both federal institutes on current aspects of the assessment of drugs. It focuses on pharmacovigilance – the continuous monitoring and evaluation of drug safety before and after marketing authorisation.
