How Do Toxicologists Contribute to Post-Market Surveillance?
Even after FDA approval, toxicologists play a critical role in post-market surveillance. They monitor adverse event reports and study the long-term effects of products on consumers. This ongoing surveillance helps identify any adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that may not have been apparent during pre-market testing. Should new risks be identified, the FDA can take actions such as updating labeling requirements, issuing warnings, or even withdrawing approval.
