Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety

Pharmacovigilance involves the detection, assessment, comprehension, and prevention of hazardous drug effects. The need for safety monitoring arose from unpleasant instances in history, such as anesthesia-related deaths and thalidomide-related congenital abnormalities. Before they are approved for use, all medications and vaccines are subjected to rigorous testing for safety and efficacy in clinical trials.
