Sažetak

Pharmacovigilance as a science and group of activities related to detection, collection,
analysis, understanding and prevention of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is an essential activity
in the regulatory system of drugs of any country. Defining increased patient safety as the main
purpose of ADR reporting, a well-designed national pharmacovigilance system achieves its ultimate
goal, i.e., protection of public health. In organizational and technical terms, the Republic of Serbia
has a well-developed system of pharmacovigilance, created on the basis of a proven reliable system
of the former SFR Yugoslavia, and carried out by the National Agency for Medicines and Medical
Devices of Serbia (ALIMS), which conducts all organized activities aimed at strengthening the national
system of ADR monitoring and reporting. Unlike the neighboring Croatia and Montenegro
with similar pharmacovigilance systems, Serbia has only recently approached the WHO standard
of 200 reports per million inhabitants despite a significant increase of 180 ADR reports per million
inhabitants in 2019 (1251 in total). Considering this, our study aimed to provide a critical insight
into the practice of pharmacovigilance in Serbia by pharmacoepidemiologic analysis of a ten-year
period of ADR monitoring and reporting activities.
