Abstract
373 The word “Pharmacovigilance” was derived from the Greek literature “pharmakon” (means drug) and the word “vigilare” (means keep watch) in Latin.[1] In 1961, the World Health Organization (WHO) has established the pharmacovigilance (PV) program in response to the thalidomide disaster, for global drug monitoring. PV is the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects of drugs or any other possible drug‐related problems.[2] Globally, PV is collecting a huge amount of data daily and it is a challenging task to process these vast collected data. Recently, the program has broadened its concerns by including herbals, traditional and complementary medicines, blood products, medical devices, herb vigilance, hemovigilance, and materiovigilance.[1]
