Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Pharmacology of the National University of San Luis was designated as Peripheral Effector of the National Pharmacovigilance System of the National Administration of Drug, Food and Medical Technology in September 2010. The spontaneous reports received of adverse events, medication errors, and lack of efficacy, were analyzed since its conformation until November 2013. The reports were mainly Adverse Events, mostly preventable, possible and mild. Adverse effects were disorders mainly gastrointestinal, general disorders of the organism, of skin and appendages, and psychiatric disorders; while the accused drugs mostly corresponded to the nervous, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems. Female gender and patients aged 20-39 years were most affected. Duplication of efforts for greater professional and community formation in Pharmacovigilance, would allow us to increase the quality and quantity of notifications, all for the benefit of the health of the population. Keywords: Adverse drug reaction, adverse event, Pharmacovigilance, spontaneous reports, peripheral effector.
