Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting

Meaning

Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting is the formal, structured process by which healthcare professionals and patients communicate suspected unwanted, harmful, or unintended effects resulting from a medicinal product to regulatory bodies. This critical pharmacovigilance activity aims to collect, monitor, and assess safety information throughout a drug’s lifecycle, extending beyond initial clinical trials. The reported data is essential for identifying previously unrecognized risks and updating the safety profile of hormonal therapies and other pharmaceuticals.
