After latest scandal on maggi and then also it concedes with my topics i covered on pharmacovigilance i was trying to put how and why pharmacovigilance is done. Every product used for human consumption should be safe and deliver what it is supposed to do. I have been very curious and learning a lot (trying to) gauge the end to end workflow of Pharmacovigilance. I am yet to master it, or be an expert however i thought let us write and then gather more insights from people .
Basically the aim of Pharmacovigilance is having continuous supply of safe medications in market and as i read somewhere an interesting line the aim of PV should and is never banning any drug from market. So to do that what we do is collect and analyse all adverse events reported for each drugs. Sound so simple. Once you get a single report you triage the report meaning first check if it is valid or invalid later on…
