Enable the Korea Drug Dictionary

With the 25R1 release, Veeva Safety supports coding on External Product types of Case Products against the Korea Drug Dictionary for domestic Cases and foreign Localized Cases, allowing you complete case processing and submissions with the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) codes. Veeva updates Vault’s Korea Drug Dictionary twice per year, in line with the WHODrug Link Korea schedule. New versions are automatically available in your Vault. You cannot utilize previous versions.

After you have configured this feature, see Code Korea Drug Dictionary Products for more information.

  • With the 25R3 release, when processing domestic Cases or Localized Cases that are reportable to Korea, after coding External Products on Case Products, Vault now populates Ministry of Food and Drug Services (MFDS) Substance IDs on Localized Case Product Substances and Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) numbers on Case Product Substances.
