The Key to Drug Safety is Pharmacovigilance.

The research and activities relating to the identification, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other medicine-related problem are referred to as pharmacovigilance. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is in charge of coordinating the pharmacovigilance system in the European Union (EU), as well as providing services and processes to support pharmacovigilance in the EU.


Before a treatment is approved for use, the only evidence of its safety and efficacy comes from clinical trials, in which individuals are carefully chosen and monitored under strict conditions. This signifies that a treatment has only been tested in a small number of patients for a short period of time at the time of its approval.


Following approval, the pharmaceutical may be used in a large number of patients, for an extended period of time, and in combination with other medications. In such cases, some adverse effects may occur.


When a result, it's critical to keep track of the safety of all drugs as they're used in clinical practise.


As a result, EU law mandates that each marketing authorisation holder, national competent authority, and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) maintain a pharmacovigilance system. The overall EU pharmacovigilance system is based on collaboration between EU Member States, the European Medicines Agency, and the European Commission. Regional centres have been established in various Member States, under the supervision of the national responsible body.
