The fact that Stephens’ Detection of New Adverse Drug Reactions is now in its fifth edition speaks volumes for its value to a multiplicity of readers.Thescienceofpharmacovigilancehasgrowninbreadthanddepthovertheeighteen years of the book’s existence and the present edition shows not only how the scope of the fieldhasincreased,withchaptersonthesafetyofbiotechnologyproductsandvaccinesafety surveillance, but also how the operating techniques of statistical analysis, legal aspects and ethicalissuesnowformimportantareasfordebateinthefieldofdrugsafety. The history of drug safety is a roll call of the practice of medicine and of the science of pharmacology and toxicology which underpin it. Even the nomenclature of adverse drug reactions has evolved as we understand more of the underlying scientific basis. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the area of drug interactions. Two examples serve to illustrate this. The broad division into pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions has been further complicated by new understanding of how cellular transporter mechanisms are utilisedtotransferdrugsacrosstissueboundariesinthegut,liver,kidneyandbrain,andhow thisnowformsthebasisofanewsetofwaysinwhichonedrugcanalterthedispositionand response to another. Secondly, as our knowledge of the human genome has evolved, the scienceofpharamacogenomicshasincreasedourabilitytoselectpatientswhowillrespond to specific drugs, and this response may be beneficial or adverse. Again, such information mustbefactoredintoourappreciationofthebasisofdruginteractions. As well as considering how we have reached our present position in considering adverse drug reactions, this book looks to the future. The chapter by Patrick Waller and Stephen Evans is particularly important in this respect, showing how the prediction of drug safety will form the future of pharmacovigilance, whereas in the past this depended more on the demonstration of harm. Medicinal chemists who design drug molecules appreciate the toxicity potential of various chemical groupings in a molecule, and are increasingly able to design out the offending entity without impairing efficacy. The clinical pharmacologist and the drug regulator, always aiming to reconcile possible risk with benefit, appreciate how criticalisappropriatedoseselectioninachievingthisbalance.Theclinicianwillalwaysplay an important role by his careful documentation and reporting of patient harm on systems such as the Yellow Card. Such spontaneous reporting systems will always serve the public health by creating signals of drug safety which can be augmented and further analysed in othermoresophisticatedways.
