COMMUNITY PHARMACISTS: PARTICIPATION IN PHARMACOVIGILANCE; NEED & IMPORTANCE
Dr Bhagya Manoj Sattigeri
Abstract :
Adverse drug reactions are the common problems experienced on intake of the medicines. Every drug is potential of causing an adverse drug reaction. Tragic events that occurred in the past led to the introduction of drug monitoring programs and increased the concern of patient safety. In India evolution of pharmacovigilance has initiated slowly and advanced greatly in two decades thus integrating with several public health programs which have effectively supported the motto of Pharmacovigilance.
Awareness programs, continued educational programs, involvement of the industries, RNTCP centres and the educational institutes in the pharmacovigilance program has now been a rigorous step taken by Pharmacovigilance program of India (PvPI) in reporting the suspected adverse drug reactions. All efforts are made to involve the health care professionals to participate but focus on the community pharmacist is bleak. Community pharmacists have a promising role to play in Pharmacovigilance which needs to be explored and encouraged.
