Abstract

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are considered as one among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Around 10% of hospital admissions are estimated to be due to ADRs and about 5-20% of hospitalized patients experience a serious ADR. Reporting of ADRs has become an important component of monitoring and evaluation activities performed in hospitals4 . Such ADR reporting programs encourage surveillance for ADRs, promote the reporting of ADRs and stimulate the education of health professionals regarding potential ADRs. This article reviews about ADR reporting and monitoring, Classification of Adverse drug reaction, Contrast between Adverse Effects and Adverse Reactions, Methods of monitoring adverse drug reactions.
