Pharmacovigilance, the science of monitoring and evaluating drug safety, plays a critical role in ensuring the well-being of patients and maintaining public health. This comprehensive review delves into the fundamental aspects of pharmacovigilance, its evolving methodologies, and its significance in the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare systems. We explore the key components of pharmacovigilance, from data collection and analysis to signal detection and regulatory measures. Furthermore, we discuss the emerging trends and technologies that are reshaping pharmacovigilance practices and enhancing patient-centered care. This article underscores the importance of continuous surveillance and proactive management of drug safety, emphasizing the need for collaboration among all stakeholders to achieve a safer and more effective drug therapy landscape.
