Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the impact of the drug policy on the market and the importance of pharmacovigilance for the safety of citizens. Pharmacovigilance supports the safe and appropriate use of drugs. Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADR) is an essential component of pharmacovigilance. However, there is significant underestimation of the side effects. The undesirable effects of drugs have become a major problem in developing countries. Pharmacovigilance knowledge could provide the basis for interventions aimed at improving reference rates and reducing ADR (adverse drug reactions). In order to broaden the knowledge about the actual adverse drug reactions and to avoid the waste of scarce resources for the detection and analysis of adverse events, the events resulting from such situations should be reduced or eliminated. Therefore, WHO Member States are encouraged to strengthen national legislation, registration and quality assurance and control of herbal medicines. In addition, national health authorities should pay more attention to consumer education and a specific practice in the supply of herbal medicines. Methodology: The methodology used was the SWOT analysis we analyzed strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats. Regression was also made for the side effects of drugs with three variables, sex, age and polypharmacy. The sample consisted of 87 people taking medication. Conclusions: The frequency of adverse drug reactions is positively correlated with age. The frequency of drug-related adverse reactions is positively correlated with multi-drug therapy. Women also showed higher rates than men]
