Pharmaceuticals; inspection of published assessment reports.

On the portal for drug information of the federal government and the states, you can view public assessment reports with information on the approval decision of drugs, as a supplement to the expert information and directions for use.

Description

In the so-called public assessment reports (PAR), the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) informs users, for example

  • Physicians,
  • pharmacists and
  • other health care professionals.

The PARs contain information on medicinal products and medical devices concerning

  • quality,
  • efficacy,
  • safety or
  • risks, such as areas of application and possible side effects.

The PARs are intended to contain all essential information for the approval decision and are a supplement to the already publicly available expert information and information for use.

The assessment reports published by the BfArM relate to medicinal products for use in humans. They are published on the portal for drug information of the federal and state governments (online platform PharmNet.Bund).

You can view these assessment reports there at any time.
