“…[12] There are two categories of "Ayurvedic" medicines, which are available in the market: First, which are as per descriptions in Ayurveda Samhitas called classical Ayurvedic formulations, and second, patent and proprietary formulations made from the extracts of herbs. [13] The ADR is harmful and inadvertent responses of a marketed drug, which is related to dose for diagnosing, treating, or modifying the organ function.

The core principle of the pharmaceutical trade is to establish product safety and effectiveness through clinical trials. The approval procedures govern by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and clinical trial methods, however, will give a guarantee of safety from all variety of medicine under all circumstances. Despite this truth, is a procedure pharmaceutical corporations and physicians will implement to support pharmacovigilance. Once designed the existing analysis and development practices will enhance patient safety, whereas reducing or perhaps stopping pricey safety connected withdrawals. In 1961, after detection of teratogenic disaster, the World Health Organization (WHO) started its International Drug Monitoring program. The more international demand of Ayurveda forced the regulators to implement a constant program for Ayurveda. So that some doctors, scientists, and public will report the adverse drug reactions when using Ayurvedic/herbal formulations. The WHO so convinced the Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, to start the same program for Ayurveda, as a way to making sure the protection and efficaciousness of Ayurvedic medicines. Ayurveda as a proper medical system, which is recognized by Goverment of India, initiated the institutionalized coaching a century ago. Now, India has 196 undergraduate schools and 55 postgraduate centers.

Pharmacovigilance is defined as the activities relating to detection, evaluation, understanding and prevention of adverse drug reactions or other drug related problems. WHO established its programme for International Drug monitoring in response to thalidomide disaster detection in 1961. In India, even though The National Pharmacovigilance Programme has organised a separate area for ASU drugs, lack of knowledge about the concept and importance of pharmacovigilance among ayurvedic practitioners leads to the improper analysis and report of adverse effects. In case of ayurvedic drugs there is a popular misconception that they are devoid of adverse reactions. But in reality, side effects are not completely absent but they are comparatively less. In addition to this, with the increase in demand of herbal drugs, Ayurvedic drug manufacturing companies are sprouting in every nook and corner leading to the compromise in the quality of the medicines. This can have a profound impact on the safety and efficacy of ASU drugs in the market. Further application of causality assessment scales for ayurvedic medicines is perhaps the greatest challenge due to several reasons. This paper aims to assess the need of pharmacovigilance in Ayurveda.

“…Pharmacovigilance is concerned with identifying the hazards associated with pharmaceutical products and with minimizing the risk of any harm that may come to patients. WHO defines Pharmacovigilance as; it is the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other possible medicine related problem [1]. A drug or medicine is any substance in a pharmaceutical product which is used to modify or explore physiological systems or pathological states for the benefit of the recipient.…”

Pharmacovigilance concerned with identifying the hazards associated with pharmaceutical products and with minimizing the risk of any harm that may come to patients and is defined as the science relating to the collection, detection, understanding, assessment, monitoring and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products. Adverse drug reaction (ADR) comes under the umbrella of Pharmacovigilance defined as the response to a drug which is noxious, unintended and which occurs at doses normally used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease or for the modification of a physiological function. This includes a case presentation reported for ADR; a 49 year old female patient visited the JSS Ayurveda Hospital, Mysuru on August 2023 and diagnosed to have Sandhivata. She was treated with medications internally and Kottamchukkadi churna for external application as lepa. On application of Kottamchukkadi churna, appearance of reddish rashes and itching over applied area of ankle joints of both legs was noticed. As such not any conclusive reports on Kottamchukkadi churna of previous ADRs have been reported. Currently there is utmost importance for ADR in clinical practice concerned to the public health is of prime importance; so there is a need to educate all the Medical Professionals and encourage them to analyse and report any adverse drug reaction or adverse effects that occur in a patient. This shall only be a step towards global acceptance of Ayurvedic drugs hence proper documentation and further evaluation is a need of the hour.
