Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance is the science and practice of detecting, assessing, determining and preventing adverse drug effects and other drug-related safety issues. A major objective of pharmacovigilance is to provide timely information about the safety of health products, especially to patients, doctors, and the general public, that promotes the safe and effective use of health products.

Additionally, pharmacovigilance-related activities deal with medication errors, lack of efficacy reports, off-label use, acute and chronic poisoning, assessment of drug-related mortality, abuse and misuse of medicines and adverse interactions of medicines with chemicals and other drugs.
