The main objectives of Pharmacovigilance are:
1- Early detection of adverse reactions and interactions unknown until that moment.

4- Estimation of the quantitative aspects of the benefit/risk relationship and dissemination of the information necessary to improve the regulation and prescription of medicines.
This allows us to obtain global benefits or final objectives, of great importance for people's health and of primary value for health authorities such as:
1- The rational and safe use of medications.
2-The evaluation and communication of the risks and benefits of marketed medications.
3- Education and information to patients.
