Product Safety and Quality
Safe and high-quality products earn us our reputation for excellence. Patient safety comes rst at Shionogi, always. We comply with all safety laws and regulations that apply to the development of our medicines, and we promptly and thoroughly report any adverse events or concerns that we identify.
Together, we:
• Always make safety and quality a priority.
• Look out for product quality complaints, such as damaged or faulty packaging, contamination, or any other breach in good manufactur- ing practices.
• Promptly report adverse events related to Shionogi products by contacting AdverseEvents@shionogi.com.
TO MAKE IT CLEAR:
What Standards Apply to Safety and Quality
• Many laws and regulations apply to the safety and quality of our products, including:
• Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) • Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs)
• Good Clinical Practices (GCPs)
It is important that we all familiarize ourselves with the policies, laws and regulations of the agencies that govern the safety and quality of our products.
BE MINDFUL:
Adverse Events
Remember that adverse events are not always nega- tive effects or dangerous symptoms.
For example, if someone is experiencing a bene t, which may also be a side effect, from a medicine that is not intended, the Company still needs to know. Watch for adverse events, and report them immedi- ately if you learn about them.
Intellectual Property
Innovative products and discoveries are the heart of Shionogi. We all have a duty to protect the Company’s intellectual property—in fact, our success as a Company depends on it. We also respect the intellectual property rights of others.
