Pharmacovigilance

Medicines can help you get well, avoid illness or reduce symptoms associated with a disease. The benefits of a medicine must be weighed against its possible risks, and the decision of prescribing a medicine should be based on patients’ health needs and preferences.

There are many ways to become a well-informed patient:

• Ask your physician what to expect from your medicine: What side effects may occur, whether any follow-up testing or monitoring will be needed and when to expect an improvement.
• Read the label and follow instructions: Pay attention to warnings about serious and minor side effects. Notice instructions concerning mixing medicines and avoiding certain activities while using them. Keep in mind that side effects may bring about various states of inconvenience or discomfort.
• Know your medicine: Know the names and dosages of all the medicines you take and the conditions they treat.
• Remember your healthcare history: Inform your physician of prior allergies, sensitivities or side effects experienced.
• Follow the timing and dosage instructions on your prescription: Consult with your physician if you have doubts or concerns.
• Keep track of a medicine’s effects on your body and mind. Write down any changes and consult your physician.
