In India, surveillance of adverse drug reaction developed when most of the developed countries and some of the not so much developed had established monitoring programme. Many of these had formed National Centers and joined hands with WHO collaborating Centre for International Drug Monitoring at Uppsala Sweden. In1989, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for the first time came forward to fi

nance a multicentric ADR monitoring programme involving six medical colleges at Aligarh, Delhi (2 centres), Jhansi , Meerut & Vellore. In a span of three years a data for 58,194 patients was collected and report submitted to ICMR. This programme was later converted into a task force, the centers were located at 12 medical colleges at Aligarh. Delhi, Jammu, Bhopal, Baroda, Hyderabad, Vellore, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai and Guwahati. Both these programmes were coordinated by Prof. It is unfortunate that ADR monitoring forms sent by these 12 centres are lying unattended in a store room of ICMR for past many years. The data has not been analyzed as yet. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India established five centres to monitor adverse reactions of some specified new drugs. These centres located at Delhi, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Mumbai and Chennai had practically functioned little. However, no data from these centres have so far been made public.

With the growing use of semaglutide in clinical practice, it is essential to proactively monitor its safety profile through strengthened pharmacovigilance activities. As its application expands to a broader and more diverse patient population, ongoing vigilance is necessary to ensure patient safety and achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes. Collaborative efforts remain central to effective signal detection, risk mitigation, and the overall strengthening of the pharmacovigilance system.

In this context, consultants are requested to closely monitor ADRs associated with semaglutide. Particular attention should be given to the careful documentation and prompt reporting of any suspected ADRs. It is also important to ensure that Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) are complete, accurate, and include all relevant clinical details and patient outcomes. Your active involvement and cooperation are crucial for strengthening drug safety monitoring and protecting public health in India. All healthcare professionals are encouraged to report ADRs promptly through the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) reporting system.

March is Long COVID Awareness Month!

Long COVID Awareness Month is a time for everyone impacted by Long COVID to come together globally in coordinated awareness and action. Patients, caregivers, families, friends, community allies, public health leaders, clinicians, researchers, and others will raise awareness this March in whatever ways they can.

Six years into the pandemic, we continue to advocate for stronger public awareness and education, robust clinician training, coordinated and accessible care, meaningful and inclusive research, effective treatments and cures, and comprehensive social and support services. We advocate to advance public health, save lives, and drive change in long-neglected areas. We continue to fight for our lives. We advocate to educate. We educate to drive solutions.

As the COVID-19 Longhauler Advocacy Project (C19LAP), a grassroots, patient-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we stand at the forefront of combating Long COVID and its sweeping effects on our community.

As part of World Cancer Day, the Society of Pharmacovigilance of India (SoPI) collaborate with Agra Cancer Society

World Cancer Day is observed every year on 4th February. The theme for this year is “United by Unique”, highlighting the fact that every cancer case is unique, yet together, through unity and collective effort, we can effectively combat cancer.

The Agra Cancer Society, in collaboration with Purushottam Das Savitri Devi Cancer Hospital, takes a pledge every year to unite in the fight against cancer. Several organisations extend their support in this noble initiative, including the Society of Pharmacovigilance of India, Jeewan Akshay (a group of cancer survivors), Rotary Club Agra Grace, Lions Club Sarvottam, Rotary Club Agra, and many other social organisations.

As part of the observance, Agra Cancer Society, along with Holy Public School, is organising a Drawing Competition for students of Classes VI, VII, VIII, and IX. First, Second, and Third prizes will be awarded by Rotary Club Agra Grace.

Honourable Mayor of Agra, Mrs. Hemlata Diwakar, has kindly consented to grace the occasion as the Chief Guest. Let us pledge to wipe out cancer and extend our unwavering support to cancer patients and survivors.

SoPI extends best wishes to the Team Purushottam Das Savitri Devi Cancer Hospital.
