Drug
Safety: Teva’s Top Priority
As a leading pharmaceutical company, Teva’s top priority is ensuring
the safety and effectiveness of our medicines. Our commitment starts in
the research laboratory, where Teva scientists engineer generic, innovative
branded and biologic medications designed to improve patient health. It
continues throughout the manufacturing process and supply chain where
numerous safeguards are included to ensure the highest quality and reliability.
Drug Review & Approval
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees a rigorous evaluation
process that scrutinizes everything about new drugs developed by Teva
– from product ingredient supplies to the design of clinical trials
to the severity of side effects to the conditions under which the drug
is manufactured. In order to produce affordable generic versions of brand
medications, Teva must demonstrate that the generic has the:
•Same active ingredient
•Same labeling and usage
•Same dosage strength
•Same quality and stability
•Same safety and effectiveness demonstrated through bioequivalence
testing
…as the brand-name drug.
FDA review and approval is required for all medications
and demonstrates that they have met the highest standards for consumer
protection.
“The generic version works like the brand-name
drug in dosage, strength, performance and use, and must meet the same
quality and safety standards.” - Food and Drug Administration Website
