“…This value is slightly lower than the similar study done by Bhat et al . [ 19 ] Approximately 60.16% of participants have not come across any ADR in their practice. This may be due to lack of training or lack of proper follow-up in identifying the ADR.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards pharmacovigilance for Ayurveda among the teachers and practitioners working in Ayurveda colleges of Gujarat State. Materials and Methods: A survey questionnaire with 29 questions covering points like participants’ knowledge, attitude and practice towards pharmacovigilance, adverse drug reaction reporting, and misleading advertisements related Ayurveda drugs was developed in Google form format. The study was carried out during December 2020 and January 2021. Question-wise analysis was made and their percentage value was calculated with the help of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in MS Office 2010. The result was presented using simple frequencies with percentages in appropriate tables. Results: Results from this study show that majority of the respondents were having a good knowledge regarding the concept of pharmacovigilance and ADRs in terms of their definitions and purposes. But, a complete knowledge regarding the structure of present national and international pharmacovigilance programme, reporting the ADR and its format were still lacking among majority of the participants. An encouraging attitude towards reporting of adverse drug reaction of ASU&H drugs and teaching of Pharmacovigilance for all the healthcare professionals by majority of the participants was observed. Further maximum participants opine a mandatory rule for reporting of ADR by Physicians, Pharmacist and Nursing staff. A major part of respondents (78.03%) opine that poor quality of drug, medication errors, prescription errors, dispensing errors are part of Pharmacovigilance under drug-related problems. The observed positive attitude is not being reflected in term of practice i.e., reporting of ADR related to Ayurveda drugs. One-third of the participants reported their experience about adverse drug reactions during their professional practice, out of which very few have reported ADRs. Difficulty in deciding or identifying the ADR and lack of time to report ADR is one of the major factor discouraging the participants from reporting ADRs. A large number of respondents were also not familiar with reporting misleading advertisements. Conclusion: Findings of this study reflects a good knowledge of the participants about the concept of Pharmacovigilance but unfamiliarity about the programme. The positive attitude towards practice of Pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting can be converted to foster pharmacovigilance practice through series of awareness programmes.

Objective: The Purpose of this study is to assess knowledge, attitude and awareness of pharmacovigilance among medical students in a tertiary care centre. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at Prakash Medical college and Hospital, Islampur, Kolhapur, Maharastra. The approval for conducting this study was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee prior to the study. This was a cross-sectional, observational, questionnaire-based study. Total 340 participants were approached, which included medical students of MBBS, students of Nursing College, Dental College and Physiotherapy College attached to the Hospital were included in the study. Results: Though majority of MBBS students had defined the term “Pharmacovigilance”, less than half were able to define by BDS, BPT and Nursing students. These students are told about it in pharmacology but not actively discussed. This shows that there is a need to stress on pharmacovigilance during undergraduate teaching. Knowledge and attitude-based questionnaire was well answered by majority of MBBS students similar to studies. The overall awareness about pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting was low, in all medical and nursing students. Conclusion: This study concludes that the MBBS medical students’ knowledge and attitude towards pharmacovigilance was by far commendable in comparison to other medical courses. Practical based awareness regarding pharmacovigilance was very less in all stream of medical courses.

Background: Almost a year to the pandemic situation gone, but still no approved scientific treatment only experimental cocktail for novel coronavirus disease. Ayurveda as a complementary medicine, claims the Ayurveda drug has strong immunity boosting and anti-inflammatory benefits against the coronavirus. To get a global recognition, AYUSH system encourages to carry a randomized controlled clinical trial to treat novel coronavirus disease. In this study, we aimed to summarize the effectiveness of Ayurveda interventions and which interventions are most effective in management of COVID19 positive patients. Methods: To ensure relative efficacy of Ayurveda interventions in management of COVID 19 positive patients, we will systematically search randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomised controlled trials in electronic databases. Also, we will search unpublish material from pre-print servers and grey literature. Two independent researchers will conduct the selection process based on inclusion and exclusion criteria according to PRISMA guidelines. Upon selection, we will carry out quality assessment with the help of GRADE and risk of bias assessment using Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. Using R-3.4.1 software to process and analyse data. Result: The results of this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Discussion: The findings from this study will provide directions for further research and provide helpful evidence for clinicians to formulate best Ayurveda treatment strategy for management of COVID-19 positive patients. Systematic review registration: International Prospective Register for Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) number CRD42021267410.
