ABSTRACT
Introduction: Good practices of pharmacovigilance are a group of actions regulated by a legal framework; therefore, they must be strictly complied with by laboratories of the pharmaceutical industry.Objective: To evaluate compliance with the "Good Practices of Pharmacovigilance" at Laboratorios Liorad.
Methods: A checklist with 27 questions and five sections was designed to make an initial diagnosis applied to the pharmacovigilance specialist. The information was collected by a member of the audit team. The results were assessed upon the criteria of quality specialists and instructors. The data were evaluated with the help of descriptive statistics, for which the number of affirmative and negative responses was independently counted and their percentages were calculated. The answers to the open questions were grouped to know the criteria issued. A three-level scale was established: lower (60%), medium (between 60% and 89%), and high (greater than or equal to 90%).
Results: Affirmative answers to the closed questions were higher (83.3%) than negative answers (16.6%), which showed that there is a pharmacovigilance system at Laboratorios Liorad.
Conclusions: The initial diagnosis made at Laboratorios Liorad shows that there is a pharmacovigilance system with an average level of compliance with the "Good Practices of Pharmacovigilance", which can be improved by executing an action plan drawn up from the negative responses of the applied checklist.
