<p class="FirstParagraph" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Background:</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Pharmacovigilance is essential for monitoring drug safety and preventing adverse drug reactions (ADRs). However, ADR underreporting remains a major global concern.<strong> Objective:</strong> To assess knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding pharmacovigilance among the general public.<strong> Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 participants using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.<strong> Results:</strong> Only 16.67% of participants were aware of pharmacovigilance. While 70% strongly agreed that ADR reporting is important, only 7.67% had reported ADRs. Major barriers included lack of awareness and lack of knowledge about reporting systems.<strong> Conclusion:</strong> Knowledge and practice are inadequate despite positive attitudes. Educational interventions are required to improve ADR reporting.</span></p>
