Pharmacovigilance
Medicines (or drugs) have brought extraordinary benefits, however, they are not without risks and some patients may experience side effects.
Some side effects and risks associated with the use of medicines will only be discovered when the medicine is used by a large number of patients during clinical practice.
For this reason, monitoring and reporting side effects is very important and spontaneous reporting takes on a fundamental role. Pharmacovigilance is essential for a safer and more effective use of medicines.
The deeper and the more detailed knowledge of medicine and their associated risks is, and the information is shared in a timely manner with patients and healthcare professionals, the safer it will be used.
The participation of every single one of us, as citizens, as patients, as health professionals is essential.
Always pay special attention to:
- Adverse event (described or not in the SmPC)
- Death
- Congenital changes
- Lack of efficacy / worsening of the disease
- Medication / abuse / addiction / withdrawal errors / off-label use
- Drug interactions
- Exposure during pregnancy / lactation or parental exposure
- Occupational / accidental exposure
- Unexpected benefit
- Quality complaints / requests for medical information associated with pharmacovigilance
Always notify, for your health and for the health of all patients.
