Pharmacovigilance & Drug Safety

Clinical Trials Pharmacovigilance

The purpose of pharmacovigilance is to enhance patient care and patient safety in relation to the use of medicines according to the life cycle of a health product. During clinical trials, the investigator collects and analyzes data on serious adverse events (SAEs), determining whether the drug in question caused the SAEs. If they conclude that the negative side effects were causal, they are categorized as adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
