WHAT TO REPORT
The National Pharmacovigilance Programme
(NPP) encourages reporting of all suspected drug related
adverse events, including those suspected to have been
caused by herbal, traditional or alternative remedies.
The reporting of seemingly insignificant or common adverse
reactions would be important since it may highlight
a widespread prescribing problem.
The programme particularly
solicits reports of:
• ALL adverse events suspected
to have been caused by new drugs and ‘Drugs of
current interest' (List to be published by CDSCO from
time to time)
• ALL suspected drug interactions
• Reactions to any other drugs
which are suspected of significantly affecting a patient's
management, including reactions suspected of causing:
• Death
• Life-threatening (real risk
of dying)
• Hospitalisation (initial or
prolonged)
• Disability (significant, persistent
or permanent)
• Congenital anomaly
• Required intervention to prevent
permanent impairment or damage
