Propuesta de un programa de farmacovigilancia aplicable en la Clínica Veterinaria de la Universidad UDCA

Every drug is constituted by a drug that exerts the therapeutic effect in certain organism, whose ideal is not to generate any harm in the patient. However, any drug has the potential to produce adverse effects. Therefore, there is a need for a system in charge of monitoring certain characteristics of medicines, such as efficacy, safety and quality, so as to protect against unwanted effects on the health of patients. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are defined as unintended harmful reactions that have sites at doses normally used for the prophylaxis, diagnosis or treatment of a disease or for modification of a physiological function. The analysis of these and the associated risks to which the patients are exposed, originated the concept of pharmacovigilance already more than 30 years ago in human medicine and this one is defined by the World Organization of the Salute as "any activity that leads to To obtain systematic indications on the likely causal links between drugs and adverse reactions in a population." veterinary drugs as well as medicinal products for human use can cause adverse reactions, which is why veterinary pharmacovigilance is a term that has been applied to the veterinary medium. Veterinary Pharmacovigilance has acquired important importance in other countries and has been extended to improve the safe use of drugs approved for marketing and involve the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory authorities, health professionals and patients. At present, Colombia has a National Institute for Agriculture and Livestock (ICA), responsible for the control of the production, marketing and use of veterinary drugs to improve the animal health status, which has developed approaches for the definition of veterinary pharmacovigilance programs (Decree 4765, 2008), however, none has yet been officially established Therefore, the proposal and future implementation of an ADR notification system seems a necessity for the protection of animal health and the correct use of veterinary drugs.
