We ensure that our products are transported correctly, so that we always deliver best German quality. To make sure that the temperature stays within a certain range during transport, we use temperature logger. Our temperature logger is a portable measurement instrument to record the temperature during transport over a defined period of time of our products.

Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance (PV), also known as Drug Safety, aims to enhance patient care and patient safety in relation to use of medicines. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) PV is defined as the science and activities relating to:
