Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance is a key factor in the development and use of a drug. It includes all the activities aiming at collecting and evaluating on a ongoing basis information on the safety of drugs, including their suspected adverse reactions. Pharmacovigilance, through a continuous review of the safety profile of medicines, indicates the implementation of appropriate precautionary measures, ensuring that the marketed medicines, provided the authorised terms of use are met, have a favorable benefit-risk ratio for the population.

Thus Pharmacovigilance is an essential activity to better know a medicine, to correctly inform the prescribing physicians and to protect the patients who take it.

WHAT IS AN ADVERSE REACTION 
An adverse reaction is a noxious and unintended reaction caused by:

– use of a medicine according to the indications contained in the marketing authorisation,
– therapeutic errors
– use not according to the indications contained in the marketing authorisation, including:

overdose,
misuse,
abuse of the medicinal product

– as well as occupational exposure
(Good pharmacovigilance practice)
