Stimulated adverse drug reaction reporting in pharmacovigilance: Indian perspectives
Abstract
Introduction: The voluntary reporting of adverse drug reactions requires continuous stimulation and motivation.
Methods: It is achieved by the development of a positive approach towards pharmacovigilance among healthcare professionals so that adverse reaction reporting becomes an accepted and understood routine.
Results: In summary, the various strategies developed and made available in India to stimulate reporting, promotion, educational interventions/ awareness program/academics, hospital-based ADRs reporting, establish a culture of reporting.
Conclusions: These exclusive strategies progress the reporting rate in India by altering the mindset of healthcare professionals, undergraduates, and consumers towards safety reporting.
