DRAP Launches Sindhi Animated Video on Medicine Side-Effect Reporting

The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) has introduced an animated video in Sindhi to inform patients and medical professionals about reporting suspected side effects of medicines. Developed by the National Pharmacovigilance Centre of DRAP, the video outlines the various avenues for reporting adverse events to the Provincial Pharmacovigilance Centre in Sindh and the National Pharmacovigilance Centre.

DRAP urged individuals to report any potential medication issues, emphasizing that this practice is crucial for pharmaceutical safety and enhancing public awareness. The initiative seeks to make adverse event reporting more accessible to Sindhi-speaking communities, encouraging both the public and healthcare providers to view and understand the reporting process, thereby contributing to safer medicine usage.
