For a robust Pharmacovigilance system in a country, training of healthcare professionals is of utmost importance. The training is the integral part of continual improvement in any quality management system. The present article describes the different training modules and experience from the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) and emphasizes that if training and education elements with special reference to pharmacovigilance are implemented for all concerned stakeholders in a healthcare system, the efficiency of deliverables will be improved and objectives of the organization can easily be achieved. The PvPI has been putting its best efforts to train healthcare professionals in pharmacovigilance and it has achieved new heights in establishing best practices for the other countries to follow for the development of pharmacovigilance system in their respective countries or regions. The aim of this article is to suggest how capacity building in a pharmacovigilance system can help low- and middle-income countries in area of pharmacovigilance. The authors tried to conceptualize the process and implementation of the training program under PvPI.

Background: Drug-induced hypogonadism is an underrecognized but significant adverse effect of various medications, contributing to male sexual dysfunction and infertility. Despite its clinical significance, comprehensive studies systematically identifying high-risk drugs remain limited.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the potential drugs associated with hypogonadism from FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.

A nanozyme-mediated cascade reaction system for fluorometric and colorimetric dual-mode detection of sarcosine (SA) was developed. The nanozymes (Zn-Glu@Hemin) were synthesized via a rapid self-assembly within 10 min at room temperature. Importantly, the Zn-Glu@Hemin exhibited strong peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity, catalyzing the generation of hydroxyl radical (·OH) and superoxide anion (O) from hydrogen peroxide (HO), enhancing the fluorescence reaction of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and the colorimetric reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB).

Background: In recent years, with the expanding use of novel therapeutics such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, reports of drug-induced vitiligo have been increasing. This study aimed to identify drugs associated with vitiligo using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Methods: A retrospective disproportionality analysis was performed on FAERS reports from the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Vaccine safety surveillance systems are vital for the post-market safety monitoring of novel and well-established vaccines, given the sample size, representativeness and follow-up time in clinical trials. The introduction of COVID-19 vaccines during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges for safety surveillance. Here, we discuss methodologic considerations for epidemiologic study design and real world data for passive and active surveillance systems for COVID-19 vaccines in the United States (U.

Background: In recent years, gefitinib and docetaxel, as targeted and chemotherapeutic agents, respectively, have been widely used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the safety of these drugs remains a significant concern in clinical practice. Comparative studies on the safety of these two drugs have yet to be fully explored.
