You have now seen some historical examples of the consequences of inadequate regulation in terms of promotion of medicines and how the laws and codes of conduct have been introduced to help ensure patient safety. Modern healthcare professionals cannot be experts in all areas. Therefore they need to be able to rely on receiving accurate information about medicines, which does not mislead in terms of quality, efficacy or safety. AstraZeneca is committed to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in every country where we operate.

The purpose of our processes for global and local nominated signatory review is to ensure compliance with the laws, regulations and codes that relate to the promotion of our products in all countries so that our medicines are used appropriately and patients are protected.
