Pharmacovigilance

What is pharmacovigilance?

Pharmacovigilance is a science, which monitors and performs a continuous evaluation on the safety of drugs after their authorization and commercialization in the market. Its main objective is to detect, evaluate, understand, and prevent adverse events and other problems related to drugs, in order to ensure their safe and effective use in the population.

Why is it important to report adverse events (AE)?

Adverse event reporting is critical to patient safety and drug efficacy. It enables health authorities and drug manufacturers to continuously monitor product safety and take corrective action when necessary. This helps to identify new unknown risks, confirm known risks, and contributes to the benefit-risk assessment of drugs on the market.

ADR vs. AE, and examples

Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR): Refers to any harmful and unintended response to a drug that occurs at normal doses used in humans. Example: Nausea after taking an antibiotic.

Adverse Event (AE): untoward event that may occur during treatment with a medication but does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the treatment. Example: Fall resulting in a sprain while on treatment with an antihistamine.
