Peoples are using more potent drugs with various medical conditions. pharmacovigilance helps in safe and convenient use of pharmaceutical drugs. Voluntary recording of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is a chief component of pharmacovigilance. Adverse drug reactions have become a dominant health related problems in developing countries like India. The main objective of pharmacovigilance is the assessment of benefit-risk profile of drug for better potency and safety in patients. In terms of volume India pharmaceutical industries is third largest in the world so India has a core of clinical research and drug design & development. This review article explains the need of pharmacovigilance in pharma companies, the growth of pharmacovigilance in different centuries and current status of pharmacovigilance in the country.

Background: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect a huge population of the world and majority of the victims belong to the poor community of the developing countries. Until now, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified 20 tropical diseases as NTDs that must be addressed with high priority. However, many heterocyclic scaffolds have demonstrated potent therapeutic activity against several NTDs. Objective: There are three major objectives: (1) To discuss the causes, symptoms, and current status of all the 20 NTDs; (2) To explore the available heterocyclic drugs, and their mechanism of actions (if known) that are being used to treat NTDs; (3) To develop general awareness on NTDs among the medicinal/health research community and beyond. Methods: The 20 NTDs have been discussed according to their alphabetic orders along with the possible heterocyclic remedies. Current status of treatment with an emphasis on the heterocyclic drugs (commercially available and investigational) has been outlined. In addition, brief discussion of the impacts of NTDs on socio-economic condition is included. Results: NTDs are often difficult to diagnose and the problem is worsened by the unhealthy hygiene, improper awareness, and inadequate healthcare in the developing countries where these diseases primarily affect poor people. The statistics include duration of suffering, numbers affected, and access to healthcare and medication. The mechanism of actions of various heterocyclic drugs, if reported, have been briefly summarized. Conclusion: Scientists and pharmaceutical corporations should allocate more resources to reveal the in-depth mechanism of actions of many heterocyclic drugs that are currently being used for the treatment of NTDs. Analysis of current heterocyclic compounds and development of new medications can help in the fight to reduce/remove the devastating effects of NTDs. An opinion-based concise review has been presented. Based on available literature, this is the first effect to present all the 20 NTDs and related heterocyclic compounds under the same umbrella.

This chapter investigates in a case study the limitations of adverse drug reactions reporting (ADRr) and the challenges facing counterfeit drugs monitoring in the African developing countries with a focus on the Republic of Benin and proposes solutions to improve the adverse drug reporting method and infrastructures as well as the counterfeit drugs monitoring. The study aims at implementing an ADRr system using the m-health technology to overcome the limitations and ease the use of the “yellow card” in the developing world. Furthermore, a real-time notification system is provided to promptly disseminate among the populations any registered and proved ADR.

Pharmacovigilance is a resourceful process for monitoring adverse drug reactions. The lack of resources in developing countries makes it difficult to execute pharamcovigilance programs on a large scale. Therefore, the cellular technology based network, which has widespread access in the developing world, may be used as an inexpensive means of monitoring.

Summary Objective: Information about adverse drug reactions plays an important role when assessing the benefit/risk profile of a drug. Identifying rare adverse drug reactions, however, is a difficult task. This paper illustrates the advantages of using a prescription database for this purpose. Methods: The mediplus® database used in our analysis covered data from 320,644 outpatients observed between July 1999 and June 2002. The example of bleeding complications during intake of antidementia drugs is used to illustrate this approach. The comparison of cohorts and subgroups is nearly always a problem in surveys. For our analyses we considered a set of patients who had taken a selected medication for a certain period of time and compared the frequency of adverse events with those occurring when the same patients did not take this medication. Hence, the comparison with versus without a certain medication is based on the same set of patients as in a cross-over study. Results: Our evaluations indicate that the rate of bleeding complications is low when taking any of the widely used antidementia drugs, glutamate modulators, cholinesterase inhibitors, calcium antagonists or the phytomedicine Ginkgo biloba. Conclusion: Basing the comparison of the rates of complications during periods with and without intake of a certain drug on the same set of patients may be a useful tool for assessing adverse drug reactions from data reported in prescription databases.

Globalization, as evidenced in increased trade, economic development, and the emergence of new global powers, has meant that the world economy has undergone significant changes over the past two decades. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is more than a potent representation of these developments, it is often seen, along with its predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), as having enabled the process of globalization. However, there are profound concerns about what lies ahead in an increasingly complex economic and regulatory setting, in particular for developing countries (DCs).

The rapid growth of E-Commerce initiatives in the world reflects its compelling advantages, such as enhanced governmental performance, lower cost structure, greater flexibility, broader scale and scope of services, greater transparency, accountability, and faster transactions. This study aims to determine the connection and effects that attitudes have on e-commerce is paramount to developing e-commerce. In developing countries, IT and communication or rather e-commerce growth are substantial. Technology effectiveness is essential in E-Commerce success. However, human, economic, and other organizational issues must be taken into account as well. In this study, we evaluated the current status of E-Commerce in developing countries. The evaluation of current status reveals opportunities that should be seriously tackled by organizations, if they are to survive the consequences of globalization and open markets. There should be an immediate implementation of a governmental infrastructure to support e-commerce.
