| Summary: | The Colombian Agricultural Institute defines veterinary pharmacovigilance as “the set of activities for the identification, evaluation and prevention of the risks of using veterinary drugs and biologics once they are marketed, and includes a continuous process of recording and evaluation of adverse events". The national pharmacovigilance program was created in 2017, while in the European Union and the United States, these programs have been around 30 years. The aim of this review was to identify the contributions found in the literature about veterinary pharmacovigilance and join the information on adverse events published to date, so that important information generated that contributes to improve veterinary pharmacovigilance in Colombia. Therefore, a structured review was carried out in Embase, PubMed, Scielo, Liliacs, Redalyc and Google Scholar, searching for terms such as “veterinary medicine”, “adverse drug reaction” and “pharmacovigilance”. 51 articles in English and Spanish were included, with full text access and published between 2000 and 2020. Veterinary pharmacovigilance publications were identified, which show that it is a field with great prospects and challenges, and it requires the implementation, maintenance and strengthening of veterinary pharmacovigilance programs in Colombia and the world. In addition, it is necessary to continue researching to generate more evidence to make the best decisions regarding the use and safety of these drugs. |
