Ensuring drug safety is a fundamental principle in medical practice, crucial for evaluating patient safety across various medical systems. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) significantly contribute to this assessment. Consequently, pharmacovigilance studies are vital for understanding treatment outcomes. One emerging concern in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) systems, like Ayurveda, is the rise in safety reports and their misinterpretation, which negatively impacts these systems. Despite Ayurveda's holistic nature and its detailed explanations of drug-induced consequences and preventive measures, the data in classical texts is scattered. Hence, the integration and analysis of this data with modern drug safety concepts is urgently needed. The current literature review draws from various Ayurvedic compendiums and electronic databases using search terms like 'Vyapad,' 'Viruddha,' 'Ahita,' 'herb-herb interaction,' 'idiosyncrasy,' and 'Prakritiviruddha.' The collected information was analyzed to correlate ADR concepts and current pharmacovigilance science. Overall review demonstrated that drug interaction, iatrogenic, over dose, administration of unsuitable drugs, reprehensive drug administration with respect to disease, complication from five procedural therapies (Panchakarma) and reprehensible preparation of mineral drug are nearer to the modern causes of ADR. please change it without changing its meaning. The concept of drug safety and adverse drug reactions (ADR) is not unfamiliar to Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic notion of "Abheshaja," which refers to a substance unsuitable for use as medicine, is akin to modern pharmacovigilance.
