Dr. Bharat Bhushan

I had the opportunity to work under the Ministry of Ayush in the specialized field of Pharmacovigilance, which focuses on the systematic reporting, assessment, and study of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with Ayurvedic medicines. This role deepened my understanding of drug safety, rational use of Ayurvedic formulations, and the critical importance of monitoring the therapeutic as well as adverse effects of traditional medicines. My work involved collecting, analyzing, and documenting adverse drug reactions from practitioners and patients, contributing to the improvement of safety protocols and therapeutic guidelines within the Ayurvedic healthcare system. This experience has strengthened my ability to critically assess drug-related outcomes and ensure patient safety in clinical practice. I actively contributed to the development of pharmacovigilance awareness among Ayurvedic professionals and promoted responsible drug usage based on scientific documentation and real-world evidence. Working closely with experts in the field, I gained valuable insights into the regulatory aspects of Ayurveda and the importance of evidence-based medicine in modern clinical settings. My involvement in Pharmacovigilance has helped me integrate a more cautious and research-backed approach into my own practice, ensuring that I not only focus on therapeutic benefits but also remain vigilant about potential adverse effects, drug interactions, and patient safety. I remain committed to promoting safe, effective, and well-monitored Ayurvedic treatments for the well-being of my patients.
