Abstract: The collection of adverse drug events (ADE) represents one of the inherent attributes of qualified (approved) drugs. The awareness of drug safety problems, the evaluation of the impact of adverse factors, and thus the formulation of corresponding preventive measures will minimize the risk of taking medications. We introduce drug safety registries in referring to some of the latest information on the understanding of the concept of drug safety and related laws and regulations.

Key words: drug safety, registries, adverse drug events
