Medicines and vaccines have transformed the prevention and treatment of diseases. In addition to their benefits, medicinal products may also have side effects, some of which may be undesirable and/or unexpected.
Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other medicine/vaccine-related problem.
All medicines and vaccines undergo rigorous testing for safety and efficacy through clinical trials before they are authorized for use. However, the clinical trial process involves studying these products in a relatively small number of selected individuals for a short period.
Certain side effects may only emerge once these products have been used by a heterogeneous population, including people with other concurrent diseases, and over a long period.
At GulfDrug, we believe that Pharmacovigilance is very important to ensure the safe and effective use of medicines by reporting undesired side effects, known as "adverse drug reactions" (ADRs).
