UMC promotes the safer use of medicines and vaccines for everyone everywhere
Om oss
Uppsala Monitoring Centre is a non-profit foundation and a centre for international service and scientific research in the field of pharmacovigilance. We advance the safety of patients by exploring and understanding the risks and benefits of medicines, with the ultimate aim of helping patients and physicians make wise therapeutic decisions. For more than 40 years, we have provided scientific leadership and operational support to the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring, expanding the global pharmacovigilance network to reach more than 95% of the world’s population. We create partnerships that bring together resources, expertise, and a shared vision of patient safety. Today, we continue to build a global drug safety culture by supporting and engaging all pharmacovigilance stakeholders, from national centres to regulators, academia and the pharma industry.

Genetic diversity between individuals means how we respond to our environment, from caffeine to medicinal products, can vary significantly. Our genotype 🧬, the collective term for our whole set of genes and genetic variants, can contribute 15 to 95% of how we react to medicines. What is the reason for this variability, and when may genetic testing be necessary to avoid the risk of potential side effects? Giovanni Furlan, Qun-Ying Yue, and Ayman Ayoub explore the world of #pharmacogenomics and whether to genotype or not to genotype in #UppsalaReports. Read their article for more 👉 ow.ly/MKtu50T6ikt

This week, UMC is on-site at #ISPEAnnual2024, participating in sessions and presenting our latest research posters! 🔹 One such poster demonstrates the robustness of an algorithm in facilitating #pharmacovigilance related to identifying pregnancy cases in #VigiBase, the World Health Organization global database of adverse event reports. 🔹 Another poster describes global patterns and trends of adverse event reporting to VigiBase from 2010 through 2023, finding increased contributions from geographic regions and reporters since 2010. View the posters below or download your copy from the UMC publications library 👉 https://lnkd.in/gCdahWJi

🧠💊 At the intersection of medicine and behavioural science lies the effects of disease and medicines on our personality and behaviour. While some effects may be positive and part of the therapeutic rationale, they may also impact a patient's quality of life, such as drug-induced impulse control disorders. Michele Fusaroli joins us on #DrugSafetyMatters to discuss drug-induced impulse control disorders and how impulsivity manifests, which drugs cause it, coping strategies, and much more.

🌍 🤝 The safety of patients worldwide requires a global network dedicated to monitoring the potential risks of medicines and vaccines. Since 1968, the World Health Organization Programme for International Monitoring (PIDM) has brought members together to collaborate nationally and internationally to reinforce regulatory systems and place patients at the heart of #pharmacovigilance and global #healthcare. Our role in education and training, developing PV tools, and as the custodian of VigiBase – the WHO global database of suspected adverse event reports – is integral to the WHO PIDM. See how we have built an international pharmacovigilance community together with members of the WHO PIDM and WHO in the film below 🎥

🎥 Signals of adverse drug reactions can be based on different study designs, including clinical trials, observational studies, meta-analyses, and case reports. Daniele Sartori sat down in the Research Corner to shine a light on the evidence base and features of ADR reports. 📖 Access the report for further reading: https://lnkd.in/dAETncgx 🎧 Listen to the #DrugSafetyMatters episode with Daniele: ow.ly/qloX50N0mSR

For decades, it has been known that older patients may experience adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that differ in frequency, severity, and type from those experienced by younger adults. What is the best measure to fully capture this complexity? According to Giovanni Furlan and Jennifer Mary Stevenson, PhD, we should broaden our approach to #pharmacovigilance practices and consider #frailty to better capture the factors that lead to medicinal harm in older adults.
