Through our innovative and state of the art internal manufacturing facilities in Massachusetts, in addition to partner organizations around the world, we produce a wide array of quality products for our patients.

Nothing is more important to us than the safety of the people who use our treatments. For that reason, we are constantly working to identify, understand, minimize and communicate any adverse effects associated with our medicines.

Monitoring safety

Our Pharmacovigilance department continually evaluates and monitors the safety of our treatments after they reach the marketplace. Adverse events are reported to relevant health authorities, and the information is used to continually update the risk/benefit profile of our medicines.

Safety governance

From detailed risk management plans, to periodic assessments and inspections made by major regulatory authorities, our robust safety governance process ensures we respond to safety issues quickly, appropriately and in compliance with global legislation and regulations.
