Pharmacoepidemiology Open Access Articles

 Pharmacoepidemiology is the study of the use and effects of drugs in huge numbers of people. It is a rising discipline that applies epidemiological techniques to study drug use in a large population. Just as the word implies, pharmacoepidemiology combines clinical pharmacology with epidemiology. Pharmacology is the study of the effects of medications in humans. It pertains to using pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a patient to predict the drug effect on a patient. Epidemiology is the study of the features that determine the occurrence and distribution of diseases in populations. Epidemiologists study how much disease is in a given area, who gets it, and what precise factors put individuals at risk. Epidemiology can often be distributed into infectious and chronic disease epidemiology. Chronic disease epidemiology is more dependent on complex sampling and statistical methods; which are often used in pharmacoepidemiology studies to estimate drug exposure over time.   Pharmacoepidemiology provides pharmacovigilance, the later may be a variety of continual observation of unwanted effects and alternative protective aspects of medication in current growing desegregation markets. Pharmacovigilance is conducted by spontaneous news systems through health care professionals et al. that report adverse drug reactions to the central agency. The central agency combines reports from several sources to supply a additional informative profile for drug product.
