Pharmacovigilance plays a crucial role in ensuring drug safety by detecting, assessing, and preventing adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Despite regulatory frameworks and reporting systems, ADRs remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This review highlights the importance of pharmacovigilance in clinical practice, evaluates existing ADR monitoring systems, and discusses challenges such as underreporting and data quality. Emerging technologies including artificial intelligence and electronic health record–based surveillance systems are also explored.
