Summary: Abstract: Pharmacovigilance has been established as a result of the efforts of clinical pharmacology and pharmacy departments around the world. Its primary goal is to analyze and prevent the occurrence of adverse effects, in order to elevate patients' care and safety. Drug utilization patterns have been a principal contributor to drug safety. Therefore, awareness-building in this field is beneficial not only for the patients but for the general public as well. Mobile applications, also called mobile apps, continuously play active role in healthcare, and are quickly proving its effectiveness as unique sources of health information and as patient self management tools. When used properly, these apps can provide assistance to healthcare professionals in detecting potential drug interactions which will further improve clinical decision making and patient outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge and attitude of Far Eastern University - Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation Pharmacy students on the use of prototype pharmacovigilance mobile application. The study design is a cross-sectional survey. A prototype of mobile application was used by the respondents before answering the survey. SPSS and GNU Octave were used to calculate all data. The Pearson correlation test was used to associate the knowledge and attitude of the students, multiple regression test for the identification of effects of the knowledge of the respondents to their attitude, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to relate the demographics of the students and how it affects their attitude towards the mobile app. The study is unfinished due to limited time and resources brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
