Editor's Notes

  1. Pharmaceutical drugs are chemical substances formulated to treat, prevent, or alleviate symptoms of diseases and medical conditions. They can include a wide range of medications, such as antibiotics, pain relievers, antidepressants, antihypertensives, and many others. Biological drugs, also known as biologics, are medications derived from living organisms or their components. These drugs are typically produced using biotechnological processes and include vaccines, hormones, monoclonal antibodies, and cell therapies. Biological drugs often target specific molecules or pathways in the body and are used to treat various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.
  2. Pharmacovigilance is the process of monitoring, evaluating, and assessing the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical drugs or medical products once they are on the market. It involves collecting, detecting, assessing, understanding, and preventing adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. Pharmacovigilance aims to ensure the safe use of medications by identifying and minimizing risks, improving patient safety, and enhancing public health.
