Abstract:
According to WHO, Pharmacovigilance activities are done to monitor detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of any obnoxious adverse reactions to drugs at therapeutic concentration on animal and human beings. However, there is also a growing focus among scientists and environmentalists about the impact of drugs on environment and surroundings. The existing term ‘Ecopharmacology’ is too broad and not even defined in a clear manner. The term ‘Pharmacoenvironmentology’ seeks to deal with the environmental impact of drugs given to humans and animals at therapeutic doses.
