Jaipur,With the rise in the need to constantly assess the
need of pharmaceutical drugs in the country there is also a need to understand
if these are correctly consumed and utilized to their best by the population.
It also becomes extremely important to measure the short and long-run adverse
drug events along with clinical trials that measure the effectiveness and
safety of the drugs consumed. Understanding the need for Pharmacoepidemiology,
The Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR University), Jaipur
will begin its 5 day Management Development Programme (MDP) on

Rahul Sharma, Assistant Prof and Programme Co-ordinator, The IIHMR University
said, “The study of
Pharmacoepidemiology offers assessment of potential short and long-run adverse
drug events within the population with a wide range of health status and
demographic characteristics and with a way longer follow-up period than
clinical trials that measure initial drug effectiveness and safety. It embodies
live population primarily based benefits and risks of drug in large numbers of
individuals. Studies includes the analysis of prescribing medication and its
determinant factors, implementation of Pharmacoepidemiology information into
action, describe and analyze the economics of drug use and to advise
decision-makers. In this program the following fields like drug therapies,
evaluation of drugs, effects, assessment of risk vs. benefit ratios in drug
therapy, formulation and interpretation of regulatory guidelines, advancements
in the drugs and therapeutic solutions and drug safety, are to be discussed.
The aim of the course is to strengthen participants with concepts and current
practices in Pharmacoepidemiology which will further enhance the intelligence
and information dissemination on topics closely related to
Pharmacoepidemiology, Pharmacovigilance, Adverse drug reactions, Public health,
Epidemiologic methods, Medication adherence and Drug”
Professor
Sharma also added, “The programme objectives are to understand the patterns of drug
utilization; relationships between Pharmacoepidemiology and the formulation and
interpretation of regulatory guidelines; Risk management plans and programmes
relating to pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices, understand about the
Pharmacoepidemiology study designs, to assess the effectiveness of drugs,
understand different techniques used to study the patterns and determinants of
drug utilization, understand issues regarding risks and benefits of drug use in
humans including the cause, manifestations and consequences of adverse drug
effects (ADEs) (Pharmacovigilance), To
introduce participants to fundamental statistical, compliance and regulations concepts and
