Risk Minimization Action Plans (RiskMAPs) for Approved Products

  • When a drug has unusual risks but also has unusual benefits, the Sponsor may voluntarily implement a Risk Minimization Action Plan (RiskMAP).
  • RiskMAPs use tools such as provider training and certification programs, informed owner consent, and enhanced Pharmacovigilance programs to achieve specific goals and objectives designed to minimize the risk while preserving the benefit of the drug. The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research published a guidance which describes how a RiskMAP has been utilized for human drugs.
  • RiskMAPs have evaluation plans to periodically assess the effectiveness of the RiskMAP and whether it is achieving it goals.
  • The RiskMAP documents for certain approved products are listed below:

RISK MINIMIZATION ACTION PLAN (RiskMAP) FOR: 

PROHEART® 6 (moxidectin) for extended-release injectable suspension (NADA 141-189)
and
