2. Description
In 2004 a specific regulatory initiative (DGRT 617-2004) created the Tuscan Pharmacovigilance Network which has since then involved the Department of Neurosciences, Psychology, Drug Research and Child Health – Section of Pharmacology and Toxicology with a specific Pharmacovigilance Unit. Neurofarba unit is involved in a process of training of reporters of ADRs through the issuing of a specific system of feed-back information: each reporter receives a document of comment containing pharmacological and pharmacoepidemiological data about the specific reported ADR. A precious archive of about 4.000 feedback documents have been produced during the period 2005-2010. Other activities of the Neurofarba Pharmacovigilance Unit involve clincal trials, data analysis, pharmacogenetics studies and phytovigilance.
