: There is plenty of evidence that it is also used in English - seems to cover a specific area: www.sipdrugsafety.com/Services.asp

: That's pretty good evidence that it's "pharmacovigilance" in French, but I thought English was required here....

Sormane Gomes
: It is indeed 'pharmacovigilance'. Check this US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) link: ...of inspections (GMP, GCP and pharmacovigilance inspections) performed ... www.fda.gov/oia/arrangements0904.html

"Pharmocovigilance" is not unknown, but has the ring of a Gallicism.

: yep.. beware of those links in English from non-English speaking countries. Sormane just provided a link from the USDA where the word is used, but I still prefer your options

I said it wasn't unknown. It's still pretty awkward and an identifiable Gallicism.
