India is the pharmacy of the world — but at home, we’re struggling to keep track of the very medicines we produce.
Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are harming thousands silently, and yet… most go unreported, untreated, and unnoticed.
Too few pharmacovigilance centres across India
Zero ADR reporting culture in small clinics, rural hospitals, and even major cities
Patients are unaware that side effects can be reported
Pharma companies often delay or skip ADR transparency
Language barriers & lack of digital tools stop rural populations from reporting
It’s time India stopped treating pharmacovigilance like a formality. Every pill we take should come with a promise of safety — Not silence
Yes I agree with you. Everyone should raise the voice regarding this. Because many people are suffering with many type of adverse drug reactions due to the medications.
Yes I agree with your view on medical and drug vigilance in India cause our regulation for drug safety and efficacy is sacrificed due to lack of control ,administration on drug market of all over the India.
To fix this we need to draft and implement strict rules and regulations regarding vigilance of drug and medical products.
True, this medical negligence has cost many a penny. Till now, few medicines show side effects but no proper action has been taken by our management. We really need to work on this crisis.
Right, India might be the pharmacy of the world, but our internal drug safety system doesn’t always match that picture. ADRs are often invisible here especially in rural and small clinics because people don’t know how or where to report them.
Our system exists, yet suffers under awareness gaps, heavy workloads, and complex reporting methods. We can fix this with better training, simpler digital tools, and more pharmacist involvement. After all, every one of us plays a part in keeping patients safe.
