Abstract:
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occur during the pharmacotherapy of multiple comorbidities and in susceptible individuals. DDIs and ADRs limit the therapeutic outcomes in pharmacotherapy. DDIs and ADRs have significant impact on patients' life and health care cost. Hence, knowledge of DDI and ADRs is required for providing better clinical outcomes to patients. Various approaches are developed by the scientific community to document and report the occurrences of DDIs and ADRs through scientific publications. Due to the enormously increasing number of publications and the requirement of updated information on DDIs and ADRs, manual retrieval of data is time consuming and laborious. Various automated techniques are developed to get information on DDIs and ADRs. One such technique is text mining of DDIs and ADRs from published biomedical literature in PubMed. Here, we present a recently developed text mining protocol for predicting DDIs and ADRs from PubMed abstracts.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
