So, Pharmacovigilance as a combined term means “to keep a watch over the functioning of a drug”. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Pharmacovigilance (PV) as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem.
