Abstract: Pharmacovigilance plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety by identifying, assessing, and mitigating drug-related risks. With the increasing complexity of pharmaceutical products and their global usage, managing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) has become a priority for health authorities and pharmaceutical companies. This paper explores proactive approaches to pharmacovigilance, focusing on the strategies employed for early detection, comprehensive assessment, and effective management of ADRs. A detailed analysis of current methodologies in risk management, including signal detection, risk assessment tools, regulatory frameworks, and post-market surveillance systems, will be presented. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of a risk-based approach to drug safety monitoring. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving pharmacovigilance practices and ensuring a proactive stance on drug safety.
Keywords: Pharmacovigilance, risk management, adverse drug reactions, drug safety, signal detection, regulatory frameworks, safety monitoring, risk mitigation.
