摘要
The European Union has thoroughly reformed its pharmacovigilance legislation in July 2012. Despite the changes, underreporting of adverse drug reactions remains a concern. This underreporting seems to be partially associated with incorrect customs and beliefs by healthcare professionals. Therefore, strengthening teaching and training in drug safety monitoring and reporting are essential. Sustained campaigns and education on pharmacovigilance are key elements to enhance its performance and effectiveness. In general, all healthcare professionals as well as patients should be more sensitized and empowered to contribute to pharmacovigilance programmes in order to improve drug safety.
