SAD and magistral pharmaceuticals

SAD pharmaceuticals are manufactured at two of the eight hospital pharmacies. Amgros supports production by coordinating complaints management. We deal with administrative tasks regarding labelling, packaging and shelf life.

On behalf of the hospital pharmacies, Amgros procures many of the raw materials used by hospital pharmacies in their production. This saves resources at the individual hospital pharmacy. We analyse the market and ensure the correct quality of the raw materials delivered for hospital pharmacy production. We do this by coordinating audits of suppliers. We also check that suppliers live up to current regulations and standards, and that they have documentation in place.

Amgros monitors SAD pharmaceuticals to enhance safety for various patient groups and in situations where the drugs are used in combination with other drugs. In addition to studies of the literature on the area, this work includes information from patients, physicians, the pharmaceuticals industry and authorities in Denmark and abroad.

If the hospital pharmacies change the way they manufacture a pharmaceutical, or if monitoring of pharmaceuticals gives rise to changes in how clinics use or manage the pharmaceutical, we will send a variation application to the Danish Medicines Agency. Amgros will also update the product summary for the pharmaceutical, and communicate the changes to the clinical pharmacists.
