THE European Medicines Agency
(EMA) has published the first risk
management plan (RMP) of a newly
authorised medicine, for the public.
It deals with Neuraceq
(florbetaben), used during brain
scans in patients with memory
problems, and details what is and
is not known about the medicine’s
safety and describes the measures
taken to prevent or minimise risks.
The EMA said it would pilot
publishing such summaries
during 2014 for all newly
authorised medicines, and would
start publishing summaries for
previously authorised medicines “at
a later stage”.
This came as part of a drive
to improve information about
medicines for the general public,
the EMA said.
