ABSTRACT
Monitoring the negative effect of drugs is a concept that all healthcare professionals would be aware of as part of their professional responsibility. However, since 1968, it has evolved into a structured science called 'Pharmacovigilance'. This review aims to sensitize Caribbean healthcare professionals to the global pharmacovigilance network of the World Health Organization and how their active involvement at the national level is imperative to the benefit versus harm evaluation of drugs.
RESUMEN
El monitoreo de los efectos negativos de los medicamentos es un concepto del cual todos los profesionales del cuidado de la salud debían tener conciencia como parte de su responsabilidad profesional. Desde 1968, este monitoreo se ha venido transformando en una ciencia estructurada conocida como "Vigilancia farmacológica", o "farmacovigilancia". El presente examen se dirige a sensibilizar a los profesionales del cuidado de la salud caribeños con la red de vigilancia farmacológica global de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, y a que tomen conciencia de cómo su participación activa a nivel nacional es indispensable para la evaluación de los beneficios y riesgos de los medicamentos.
