Introduction: Common Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR), evaluated by drug clinical trial studies, whereas an individual or specific population might suffer reactions after prolonged dormancy. Pharmacovigilance (PV) is a scientific investigation dealing with and keeping regular vigil on the drugs being used. Methods: The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC) and other regulatory authorities like a National Coordination Committee (NCC) via the Central Drug Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) manage PV activity in synchronicity. Indian Pharmacovigilance (PV) system requires carving, therefore the Pharmacovigilance Program of India (PvPI) was enforced by the government in the year 2010, relying on exact ADR detection, evaluation, and reporting. Results: Thus, several regional, zonal and peripheral centers are developed for ADR reporting. Clinicians, Nurses, laypersons, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals can fill ADR reporting forms online or offline at the nearest centers in suitable languages. Additionally, a toll-free number and mobile app could be used for reporting ADR. Every reported ADR gets collected and processed at the centers through Vigi-flow software, which detects and assesses the signal strength reported at CDSCO and World Health Organisation (WHO) for the required regulatory action. Conclusions: The final decision of CDSCO-WHO is passed by a suitable media source for the advancement of society's health.

Aim: To investigate neuroprotective potential of Forskolin (FSK) in combination with Solanesol (SNL) along with clinically proven drugs (riluzole, baclofen, and citalopram) on behavioral, molecular and neurochemical alterations in methyl mercury-induced Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) rats. Background: ALS is a motor neuron disease in which oxidative stress is the principal mechanism of neuronal death which can be mimicked by the dominant mutations in an antioxidant enzyme SOD-1. Due to MeHg neurotoxicity, behavioral and neurochemical alterations occur in rats. During ALS, mitochondrial CoQ10 dysfunctioning and downregulation of adenyl cyclase/CREB are major pathological hallmark for neurodegeneration in ALS. Clinically proven drug therapy comes with limited therapeutic involvement and is used as approachable therapy in ALS patients. Objective: Therefore, current research explores the up-regulation of adenyl cyclase/cAMP/CREB by FSK 30, 60 mg/kg in combination with mitochondrial ETC-coenzyme-Q10 precursor SNL 15, 30 mg/kg can be a preventive therapeutic approach to overcome the ALS like symptoms. Methods: MeHg (5 mg/kg) is a neurotoxic compound that leads to ALS like behavioral & neurochemical alterations. Results: Chronic treatment with the combination of FSK 30,60 mg/kg and SNL 15,30 mg/kg alone and along with standard drugs citalopram (5 mg/kg), riluzole (5 mg/kg) and baclofen (3 mg/kg) increased the adenyl cyclase and mitochondrial CoQ10 and ETC-complexes enzyme levels and shows the neuroprotective potential by significantly improving the cognitive deficitslocomotion, grip strength, and restoration of neurochemicals alterations along with reducing the level of inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress in ALS rats. Conclusion: Thus, we concluded that FSK in combination with SNL along with standard drugs can be a possible therapeutic approach for the treatment of ALS.
