CODE OF CONDUCT
PATIENT SAFETY AND BENEFIT
ASTRAZENECA IS COMMITTED TO MINIMISING THE RISKS AND MAXIMISING THE BENEFITS OF EACH OF OUR MEDICINES – THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE-CYCLE.
Safety and efficacy are core considerations throughout discovery, development and beyond.
We work with regulators to develop prescribing information for our medicines that provides healthcare professionals and others with the benefit/risk information they need to make prescribing decisions.
After launch, we continue to monitor all our medicines for side effects, including those that may not have been identified during the research and development process. We notify the appropriate authorities about side effects of which we become aware and co-operate with them in taking any necessary action.
Every stage of the research, development, manufacture, storage and distribution of our products (and any active pharmaceutical ingredients) must be conducted in accordance with all applicable internal and external standards.
The Company also works to combat the growing problem of counterfeit drugs, which can adversely affect the health and wellbeing of millions of people worldwide.

Our fundamental responsibility is to deliver effective medicines that are as safe as they can be for those who take them. All medicines have possible side effects. The benefits of a medicine therefore have to be weighed against its risks.
