(I) Central Sector Scheme of Ministry of AYUSH namely Pharmacovigilance initiative for
ASU&H drugs. The details of the same are as follows:
Stated Aims and Objectives of the Scheme:
The purpose of the Pharmacovigilance Program for ASU&H drugs is to collect,

scientific manner for documenting clinical evidence of safety of these drugs and
undertake surveillance of advertisements of these drugs.
The scheme aims at-
(i) Inculcating the reporting culture among the consumers as well as ASU&H
practitioners to facilitate documentation of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and
instances of misleading advertisements of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani &
Homoeopathy drugs.
(ii) Developing a system-wise database of Adverse Drug Reactions of ASU & H
drugs; and
(iii) Evolving evidence based recommendations regarding the clinical safety of
ASU&H drugs for regulatory action.

ANNEXURE – II (a)
Central Sector Scheme for Pharmacovigilance of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and

Homoeopathy Drugs
The scheme aims at developing safety monitoring mechanism for Ayurveda, Siddha,
Unani and Homoeopathy drugs and surveillance system to check the veracity of misleading
advertisements of AYUSH.
1. Preamble: -
i). Pharmacovigilance refers to a continuous post-marketing monitoring system to

systematically document the safety profile of a medicine. As defined by the World Health
Organization, Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities relating to the detection,
assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse events or any other possible drug-related
problems.
ii) The Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathic drugs are regulated in thecountry in
accordance with the exclusive provisions of the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules
thereunder. Similarly, Sowa Rigpa drugs are yet to be brought under the regulatory control. The
quality issues of these drugs are raised from various sources and it is felt necessary in the interest
of public health to oversee the impact of AYUSH drugs consumed by the people from the
prospective of their safety profile. Dissemination and advertisement of improper drug
information is also a matter of concern that needs to be addressed with a systematic surveillance
and regulatory
action.
iii) In view of the above, it is intended to develop a system of safety monitoring and surveillance
of adverse reactions and advertisements of ASU&H drugs. Accordingly, proposed scheme of
Pharmacovigilance has been envisaged towards detection, assessment, understanding, prevention
and regulatory action of adverse events and misleading advertisement of ASU&H drugs.
2. Aims and Objectives of the Scheme:
The purpose of the Pharmacovigilance initiative for ASU&H drugs is to collect, collate and
analyze data to establish evidence for clinical safety of the ASU&H drugs in a scientific manner
for documenting clinical evidence of safety of these drugs and undertake surveillance of
advertisements of these drugs.
The scheme aims at- (i) inculcating the reporting culture among the consumers as well as
ASU&H practitioners to facilitate documentation of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and
instances of misleading advertisements of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani & Homoeopathy
drugs(Summary of Month wise ADRs and Misleading advertisements annexed at
15
ANNEXURE IIa1); (ii) developing a system-wise database of Adverse Drug Reactions of ASU
& H drugs; and (iii) evolving evidence based recommendations regarding the clinical safety and
improper advertisements of ASU&H drugs for regulatory actions.
3. Structural Framework:-
There shall be a three tier structure comprising of a National Pharmacovigilance Co-

ordination Centre (NPvCC), Intermediary Pharmacovigilance Centres (IPvCs) and Peripheral
Pharmacovigilance Centres (PPvCs) (List is annexed at ANNEXURE IIa2).
The All India Institute of Ayurveda shall be the National Pharmacovigilance Co- ordination
Centre (NPvCC) for the implementation of the National pharmacovigilance program for
ASU&H drugs. The NPvCC will receive inputs in terms of suspected ADRs from the
Intermediary Pharmacovigilance Centres (IPvCs), which will initially include:
i. National institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur.

ii. Institute of Post-Graduate Training and Research in Ayurveda (IPGT&RA), Jamnagar.
iii. National Institute of Unani Medicine, Bengaluru.
iv. National Institute of Siddha, Chennai.
v. National Institute of Homoeopathy, Kolkata
and later on more such capable institutions can be identified and included as Intermediary
Pharmacovigilance Centres (IPvCs). Peripheral Pharmacovigilance Centres (PPvCs) will be
identified on the basis of their infrastructural and functional capability to take up the
responsibility of safety monitoring of ASU&H drugs and reporting of their ADRs. The
Peripheral Pharmacovigilance Centres (PPvCs) will operate under the purview of concerned
Intermediary Centre.
4. Operational Guidelines:
a) The National Pharmacovigilance Co-ordination Centre (NPvCC) in consultation with the

concerned Intermediary Pharmacovigilance Centre (IPvC) will identify the Peripheral
Pharmacovigilance Centres (PPvCs) on the basis of following criteria:
i. AYUSH teaching hospital recognized under IMCC Act / HCC Act / similar
Regulatory body; or NABH accredited / Government ASU&H healthcare facility,
healthcare facilities of the Research Councils under Ministry of AYUSH;
ii. Technical competence and wherewithal to undertake surveillance and reporting
requirements;
iii. Institutions / Organizations having credible outcomes on similar projects would be
given preference.
iv. Any AYUSH institution that has obtained funding from any Ministry/ Department of
the Central Government and UCs are settled and no adverse remarks are reported.
16
AYUSH institutions/centres fulfilling the above criteria can also apply to the concerned
Intermediary Pharmacovigilance Centre (IPvC) for inclusion as Peripheral Pharmacovigilance
Centres (PPvCs).
b) The National Pharmacovigilance Co-ordination Centre (NPvCC) as well as the Intermediary

Pharmacovigilance Centres (IPvCs) will also undertake documentation and reporting of the
ADRs.
c) An Intermediary Pharmacovigilance Centre (IPvC) shall have 10-20 Peripheral

Pharmacovigilance Centres (PPvCs) under its purview. The Intermediary Pharmacovigilance
Centre (IPvC) shall receive the information through the Peripheral Pharmacovigilance Centre
(PPvC) as well as directly from the consumers, practitioners, industry and other stakeholders
regarding any suspected Adverse Drug Reactions in the prescribed format and regarding
misleading advertisements of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathiy drugs on regular
periodicity. Each Intermediary Pharmacovigilance Centre (IPvC) shall co-ordinate and receive
inputs from Peripheral Pharmacovigilance Centres (PPvCs) selected from amongst recognized
educational institutions; licensed ASU&H pharmacies; or accredited / Government approved
ASU&H healthcare facilities, hospitals, practitioners, and other stakeholders.
d) The National Pharmacovigilance Co-ordination Centre (NPvCC) will undertake the

pharmacovigilance activities under the guidance and technical support of W.H.O. collaborating
centre for Pharmacovigilance- Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission and concerned programme
officers of theW.H.O. Country Office. The National Pharmacovigilance Co-ordination Centre
(NPvCC) in consultation with the Pharmacopoeial Commission of Indian Medicine and
Homoeopathy (PCIM&H), if required, shall conduct the Causality Assessment of the signals
received from the Intermediary Pharmacovigilance Centres (IPvCs) and intimate the Ministry of
AYUSH regarding confirmed ADRs to enable suitable action.
5. Monitoring Mechanism:

ordination Centre (NPvCC) will establish key indicators to measure the efficiency of (i) process
(ii) outcome and (iii) impact of the programme.

conducting meta-analysis of existing reports, the evaluator should actively review the cross-
cutting themes. The primary data for cross cutting themes will be elicited through specific
questions and responses during the key informant interviews and beneficiary surveys. For
example, use of IT in scheme implementation, fund flow, monitoring and evaluation can be
assessed from interaction with concerned ministries/departments as well as states officials.
Similarly, gender mainstreaming can be assessed by introducing specific questions on
changes in knowledge, attitude and practices pertaining to gender equality, attributable to the
CS intervention at hand, through household surveys.
