Features: The World Health Organization has recently published the definition of pharmacovigilance: pharmacovigilance is the science and activity of discovering, assessing, understanding, and preventing adverse drug reactions or any other drug-related problems. "The Importance of Pharmacovigilance—Drug Safety Monitoring" and "Pharmacovigilance Theory—More Effective Communication" have been translated and merged by personnel organized by the Shanghai Drug Adverse Reaction Monitoring Center and the Drug Safety Supervision Office of the Guangdong Food and Drug Administration. This book introduces relevant knowledge of pharmacovigilance, drug risks, benefits, and the availability of drug safety information. This is bound to play a positive role in promoting the concept of pharmacovigilance in our country, strengthening post-market drug supervision, and promoting rational drug use. In view of this, we are very pleased to see the publication and release of the Chinese version of this book.
