E-drug: Promoting Rational Drug Use Course Nigeria (cont'd)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Biola,
Thank you for sending e-druggers the programme of the INRUD course
on rational drug use, to be held in Kenya. I agree that this concept is
vital to many countries, in particular in the developing world.
I believe, however, that part of rational use of drug is to be aware of
the fact that drug sometimes have more and other effects than those
that are intended. In other words, pharmacovigilance should be a
concept that has to be referred to in courses (and in fact any other
programme) on rational of drugs. I suggest that you approach the
WHO Collaborating Centre for International Drug Monitoring in
Uppsala, and discuss the possibilities of further collaboration. Their
address:
