Pharmacovigilance: The Science of Drug Safety and Risk Management
Pharmacovigilance (PV) is the pharmacological science relating to the detection, assessment, and prevention of adverse effects.
Spontaneous Reporting: Healthcare providers report Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) to databases like EudraVigilance or VAERS.
Signal Detection: Data mining algorithms identify patterns that suggest a new, previously unknown side effect.
Risk Mitigation: If a signal is confirmed, regulatory bodies may issue "Black Box" warnings or recall products from the market.
