Pharmacovigilance and toxicovigilance system in Pomeranian province in 2015

In Pomeranian Centre of Toxicology (PCT) pharmacovigilance (PhV) system is organized simultaneously with toxicovigilance system (ToxV). The purpose of the study was to explore the effectiveness and usefulness of the adverse reactions monitoring system in which PhV and ToxV are organized according to a common scheme. We evaluated the effectiveness of our PhV and ToxV system and investigated the frequency and the nature of adverse reactions after drugs and other chemical substances administration. All ADRs were designated as “A-type reactions” or “B-type reactions” according to their nature. The study has shown also some limitations of the standard form for ADRs monitoring (known as “yellow card”) in case of reporting of adverse drug reactions after drug intoxication.
