Abstract
Ecopharmacovigilance is the science related to understanding, detection, assessment, and activities for prevention of adverse effects or other problems due to the existence of pharmaceuticals in the environment. These pharmaceuticals come into the environment through a variety of routes causing harmful effects. Due to increasing pharmaceutical pollution, “ecopharmacovigilance” has been an area of interest. Its objective is to ensure that significant environmental issues associated with pharmaceuticals in the environment are identified and managed in a timely way. Ecopharmacovigilance has become a recent topic of research in India, and regulatory requirements governing the comprehensive environmental risk assessment of pharmaceuticals are the need of the hour.
