[en] The entry of pharmaceutical into the environment can have numerous ecological consequences. For this reason, a new science proposes to mitigate and manage the possible effects of these substances on the environmental scenario, Ecopharmacovigilance. Considering all the approach around this area, the present article aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the literature contemplating this theme. A bibliometric survey was carried out, using only the descriptor "Ecopharmacovigilance", to verify which research trends in this subject. Four databases were selected, and searches were performed in three languages: Portuguese, English and Spanish. The time window assigned in the present study was 2007-2020. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were designated. After refinement, the content of the articles was analyzed and briefly described. The affiliation of the researchers, typology of articles, year the articles were published, thematic areas, impact factor and number of citations were also verified. Data analysis was performed using Excel software for quantitative analysis and Nvivo for qualitative analysis. 27 articles were identified based on the established criteria. There was an increase in publications between 2015-2019. Most of the articles evaluated were literature review, described in English with predominantly Asian affiliations. The keywords most used in the studies were "Ecopharmacovigilance", "Environment", "Pharmaceutical", "Residues" indicating a link between this new science and the impacts around drugs on the environment. Based on the results obtained, we encourage researchers to dedicate themselves to carrying out studies in this area.

[es] La entrada de drogas en el medio ambiente puede tener numerosas consecuencias ecológicas. Por ello, una nueva ciencia propone mitigar y gestionar los posibles efectos de estas sustancias en el escenario ambiental, la Ecofarmacovigilancia. Considerando todo el abordaje en torno a esta área, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo realizar un análisis bibliométrico de la literatura que contempla este tema. Se realizó un levantamiento bibliométrico, utilizando únicamente el descriptor "Ecofarmacovigilancia", para verificar cuáles son las tendencias de investigación en este tema. Se seleccionaron cuatro bases de datos y se realizaron búsquedas en tres idiomas: portugués, inglés y español. La ventana de tiempo asignada en el presente estudio fue 2007-2020. Se designaron criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Después del refinamiento, se analizó y describió brevemente el contenido de los artículos. También se verificó la afiliación de los investigadores, tipología de artículos, año de publicación de los artículos, áreas temáticas, factor de impacto y número de citaciones. El análisis de datos se realizó utilizando el software Excel para el análisis cuantitativo y Nvivo para el análisis cualitativo. Se identificaron 27 artículos en base a los criterios establecidos. Hubo un aumento en las publicaciones entre 2015-2019. La mayoría de los artículos evaluados fueron revisión de literatura, descritos en inglés con afiliaciones predominantemente asiáticas. Las palabras clave más utilizadas en los estudios fueron "Ecofarmacovigilancia", "Medio ambiente", "Farmacéutica", "Residuos" que indican un vínculo entre esta nueva ciencia y los impactos en torno a las drogas en el medio ambiente. En base a los resultados obtenidos, animamos a los investigadores a dedicarse a realizar estudios en esta área.
