Pharmacovigilance, where science meets practice
The theme of this year’s ISoP mid-year symposium encouraged members to reflect on how PV scientists may work better with clinicians to ensure medicine safety for their patients.

The colour of signals
Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years to treat what ails us. Yet why do we still know so little about their potential side effects compared to modern medicines?

A guide to reporting disproportionality analyses – New podcast episode
The READUS-PV statement is the first-ever guide for reports of disproportionality analyses that are replicable, reliable, and reproducible.

Making medicines safer for pregnant and breastfeeding women
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can be a chaotic period, exacerbated by lack of safety information for drugs taken during this time. The IMI ConcePTION project aims to change that.

Linking Pharmacogenomics and Pharmacovigilance Data to Solve Drug-induced Problems
Pharmacovigilance has come a long way in helping us link medicines to their side-effects; with the help of pharmacogenomics it can go even further.

Modernising pharmacovigilance education
Junior doctors are woefully unprepared in managing and reporting ADRs. However, a research team in the Netherlands plan to change that by rethinking pharmacovigilance education.

Weeding out duplicates to better detect side-effects
Duplicate reports are a big problem when it comes to signal detection, but with the help of machine learning and new ways of comparing reports, we may more effectively detect them.

Revisiting the role of medication utilisation evaluations to assess adherence to risk minimisation measures
MUEs are typically used to improve the safety of drugs, however, may they also have a role in measuring the adherence to risk minimisation measures?

Artificial intelligence in pharmacovigilance: Harnessing potential, navigating risks
AI holds potential to transform pharmacovigilance. But navigating the risks requires critical assessment. This article explores AI's evolving role in medicines safety.

When medicines change our behaviour – New podcast out now
Adverse effects to medicines are not just physical in nature, but can manifest as behavioural side-effects too. How do we diagnose and treat these complex ADRs?
