PHARMACOVIGILANCE
Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities related to detecting, assessing, understanding, and prevention adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products throughout their lifecycle.
A comprehensive pharmacovigilance course typically covers various topics and concepts related to drug safety and surveillance. The specific content may vary depending on the course provider and the level of depth, but here is a general overview of what you can expect to learn in pharmacovigilance courses.
