Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Ecopharmacovigilance is the science and activities associated with the detection, evaluation, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects of pharmaceuticals in the environment. The adverse effect of medicinal wastes on environment is yet to be understood in detail and addressed seriously in India, since India stands as one of the country with highest pharmaceutical activity. In this study, an assessment is done on India’s contribution towards ecopharmacovigilance, the impact of pharmaceuticals on the environment and the seriousness of this issue which inquires for a need to implement ecopharmacovigilance in Indian government policy.
