Drug Safety
Medication error prevention by design.
Drug safety effects every step of the medication use process. By proactively conducting risk assessments during product development it is possible to avoid pitfalls and mitigate errors. There are inherent risks in drug brand development caused by name similarity, visual brand mishaps, package and label shortcomings, trade dress commonality, and more. By combining regulatory rigor with creative strategy, we help clients meet global health agency requirements while fostering commercial potential.

By undergoing a robust risk assessment using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Leaderboard is able to predict potential errors, understand levels of frequency or severity, and make strategic adjustments in the pursuit of safer products. Internal expertise joined with in-field perspective give Leaderboard’s partners the data and support to mitigate potential errors and make more confident decisions.

Creative problem solving is proven through experience. Whether developing a brand with safety in mind, or addressing real-world challenges were medication errors have already occurred, Leaderboard has a depth of knowledge and expertise to generate solutions that make brands safer.
