Medicine Safety Education
A resource for health care providers and patients
Part of our responsibility as a global pharmaceutical company is to help keep the patients who take our medicines safe. At Pfizer, our commitment to medicine safety begins in the research laboratory—and continues for as long as the medicine is prescribed to patients anywhere in the world.
As part of this commitment, we have developed this interactive educational section in pfizer.com to help health care providers, public health professionals, patients, and caregivers learn more about medicine safety. "Understanding Risk", "Medicine Safety Timeline", and "Partnering to Protect Patients" have been developed for professional audiences. "Medicine Safety for Patients" has helpful information developed especially for patients and caregivers.

Welcome to our Medicine Safety Web site. This site is designed to help you learn more about the science, processes, and people involved in the work of understanding the risks and benefits of medicines.
As part of the global health care community, pharmaceutical companies work with regulatory agencies, health care professionals, and patients to understand, as precisely as possible, the risks and benefits of each medicine we develop. Information about medicine safety begins to emerge in the research laboratory—and continues to evolve for as long as the medicine is prescribed to patients anywhere in the world. That's why there are systems and processes in place at each step to help identify and communicate benefits and risks to everyone involved in making decisions about treatment.
Throughout this site, we will help you explore these processes as well as the science behind the research and development of prescription medicines. Look for the guide in each section of the site and press play for help in navigating through the information.
