Abstract

The article focuses on the significance of active surveillance in ameliorating the hospital-based adverse drug event (ADE) monitoring in India. It was found out that active surveillance is more effective in detecting the adverse events to newly marketed drugs than through the spontaneous reporting (SR) system. It has been suggested that SR-based hospital ADE monitoring system should be added to the active surveillance system to supervise the safety profile of newly marketed drugs at hospitals.
