Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance is an essential discipline dedicated to the detection, evaluation, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other problems related to the use of medications. This practice ensures continuous monitoring of drug safety, from development to real-life use.

All medicines, even those that have undergone rigorous research, development, and quality control processes, can cause adverse events. Therefore, pharmacovigilance is a shared responsibility between healthcare professionals, the pharmaceutical industry, health authorities, and patients. Its proper functioning helps promote the rational, effective, and safe use of medicines for the benefit of public health.
