About the Book :

Useful for those interested in Drug Safety.

Pharmacovigilance is an emerging area for employment in recent years. Background of drugs is an advantage for anybody who wants to make a career in pharmacovigilance. Hence, pharmacists are well-suited to exploit the opportunity. The job potential is both local as well as global. Opportunities are enormous; only one has to make commitment for the career.

Hence, first book in the series on Principles of Pharmacovigilance is presented here. It will be followed by another book on Regulatory Aspects of Pharmacovigilance. The future books will depend on demand of stakeholders.
I have tried to make the contents of the book more informative and inclusive; however for an everchanging field like Pharmacovigilance, updates are probably a daily affair.
