National Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI)

 

The department of Pharmacology is the regional Pharmacovigilance centre under Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) and is actively involved in collecting adverse drug events/reactions from various departments of the hospital. The information collected is uploaded at WHO-UMC software-Vigiflow to be received at IPC, Ghaziabad which is the National Coordinating centre under this Programme and gathered in national database and from there it is ultimately sent to WHO-UMC, Sweden. This process helps in making regulatory decisions regarding drugs like drug withdrawal /ban from marketing /adding black box warnings to the labels etc., thereby ensuring safe use of the drugs.

 

More than 100 reports are being uploaded monthly on the Vigiflow website after causality assessment and its ranks among the top 6 Pharmacovigilance centers contributing to the PvPI.

 

An “ADR Causality Assessment Committee” has also been constituted with Dr. M C Gupta as Chairman and Dr Kamal Aggarwal and Dr Savita Verma as members.
