Risk management is an approach that has been used for many years in areas of business and government such as finance and insurance, but its use in the regulation of medicines has until recently been limited to tools such as the prescription status of a medicine (prescription‐only or over‐the‐counter), the information provided to health‐care professionals and patients, and the collection and evaluation of postmarketing safety reports.
