"Finally, a comprehensive yet user-friendly guide to the principles and daily practice of drug safety. This unique and important new resource should be on the shelf -- or more likely, open on the desk -- of all researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical company staff!"

“The book goes beyond being another drug safety encyclopaedia. It starts with the theory, practice and definitions of pharmacovigilance and takes the reader through clinical trials and its various phases, postmarketing drug safety, risk management, academia and industry as well as regulatory stakeholders in the world of pharmacovigilance . . . Rookies to the world of drug safety as well as experienced pharmacovigilantes have something to take out of this book regardless of the professional setting (academia, industry, regulatory affairs, sales and marketing etc.) This is a pharmacovigilance one-on-one worth its price.”

"I could readily see this book as the text for training new safety employees, as the backbone of a continuing medical education effort for the nonindustry clinical public, or as a palatable source of information about safety in the industry. Cobert should be commended, for the ultimate praise of any communicator is to transform the banal and confusing into something useful and applicable, a feat he has admirably accomplished."
