Pharmacovigilance for Traditional Chinese Medicine Injections
A structured safety system of monitoring, signal detection, and risk control helps keep TCM injections safe for patients.
Why It Matters
Traditional Chinese medicine injections are widely used but carry risks. Active safety monitoring protects patients and supports safe use.
Monitoring and Reporting
Healthcare facilities should watch for adverse reactions and report them promptly. Staff need training in recognizing injection risks.
Signal Identification
Unusual or repeated reactions are reviewed to find safety signals. This helps detect problems earlier across many patients.
Risk Assessment and Control
Identified risks are evaluated for severity and likelihood. Controls may include dosing limits, liver tests, or restricted use.
Safe Administration
Use dedicated intravenous preparation and trained nursing. Check compatibility and observe patients closely during infusion.
