Treatment is the noblest, as well as the most challenging art. The safe and effective use of medicinal products and procedures is always the core concern of healthcare treatment. In the present scenario, there is an organized adverse event reporting system called pharmacovigilance, has developed to improve patient care and safety regarding the use of medicinal products. The Unani is an ancient system of medicine and is deeply rooted in Asian civilization. It is a popular belief that the Unani medicinal products and procedures are safe, but it is not always true. The acute and chronic adverse drug effects, adverse interactions of drugs with other substances, abuse, and misuse of drugs are discussed in the text of the Unani medicine. Hence, pharmacovigilance is a pressing priority to establish the safety and efficacy of Unani medicinal products to make them more precise.
