Consumers’ Association and the Department of Health have jointly arranged for the Bulletin and the Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin to be sent free to young doctors and senior medical students in England and Wales. The scheme is for an experimental two-year period and will include all doctors registered since 1 September 1971, those in their pre-registration year, and final-year medical students. We warmly welcome our new readers and look forward to having their suggestions and comments.

Background: Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an unwanted, undesirable effect of a drug that occurs during clinical use. ADRs will occur daily in health care institutions and can unfavourably affect a patient's quality of life, frequently causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Pharmacovigilance is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problem.Methods: It was a non-interventional study was done among hundred final year medical students at Kurnool Medical College, Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. The study instrument was a predesigned questionnaire was structured by following the precedence, which was set by parallel studies. The participants were given forty-five minutes to answer the questionnaire; the questionnaires were then analyzed by grading the respondents into three categories: poor, unsatisfactory and satisfactory.Results: This study showed satisfactory results about awareness, knowledge and methods of application of pharmacovigilance among final year medical students 55%, 47%, 54% respectively and positive correlation between awareness, knowledge and methods of application of pharmacovigilance among final year medical students significantly (<0.0001) correlated.Conclusions: The present study revealed that the final year medical students were satisfactory in awareness and knowledge and methods of application of pharmacovigilance. The correlations told that the higher the awareness, the more was the knowledge and better were the methods of application. Likewise, the knowledge and practices were significantly and positively related to a correlation.

Objectives: Objectives of the study were (1) to evaluate the knowledge about pharmacovigilance and (2) to assess the attitude toward adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting among undergraduate medical students.Methods: It is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study conducted in the Department of Pharmacology, Malla Reddy Medical College for Women, Hyderabad, Telangana, among fifth term Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery students (136). The questionnaire consisted of 16 questions dealing with knowledge, awareness, attitude about pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting. Data were analyzed and presented as percentage among respondents.Results: About 58.8% of students could not identify the proper definition of pharmacovigilance and 84.5% of undergraduates have not seen ADR form. It was agreed among 42.6% of students that ADR reporting is a professional obligation to them and 47.7% agreed that establishing ADR monitoring center in every hospital is compulsory.Conclusions: Our study revealed that though the attitude toward pharmacovigilance was appreciable among the medical students; there lies an insufficient knowledge and awareness about pharmacovigilance. Continued medical education programs and workshops may be helpful in the future to increase awareness and consequently to improve the rate of spontaneous ADR reporting among these upcoming doctors.

The Department of Health estimates that asthma including 10 major causes of morbidity and mortality in the hospital. Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that is becoming a serious health problem in many countries around the world. Drugs used in the treatment of asthma exacerbations is salbutamol and aminophylline. Drugs such as salbutamol and aminophylline can cause ADR (Adverse Drug Reaction) in the form of tremor with a sign involuntary shaking part of the hand. This research was conducted at the RSAL Dr. Oepomo to sample Aminofilin and in hospitals Seowandi to sample Salbutamol. The method used was quasi experimental. This study was conducted to compare the incidence of tremor in both asthma drug that is often used for the treatment of asthma such as Salbutamol and Aminofilin. The results of this study indicate there are differences in the incidence rate of ADR-related tremor between salbutamol and Aminofilin. Knowing the difference in incidence rate of tremor between aminophylline and salbutamol can assist in the selection of treatment which safer to avoid the effects of tremors that can occur from the use of of drugs asthma exacerbations.

We are happy to report that the Department of Health and Social Security, the Welsh Office and Consumers’ Association have agreed, initially for a one-year period, that as part of the Government’s continuing efforts to encourage effective prescribing the Bulletin should be distributed free to all NHS prescribers in England and Wales. This extends the Government-backed scheme that has been running since 1975 under which the Bulletin has been distributed free to final-year medical students and doctors in the early years of their careers.

Background: Adverse drug reaction (ADR) under-reporting is a hindrance to the implementation of Pharmacovigilance Program of India. This is essentially due to lack of ADR reporting culture among healthcare professionals. Thus, study was conducted to assess and enhance awareness about ADRs and strengthen reporting among medical undergraduates.Methods: This is an interventional crossover study. A total of 140 students of 2nd professional, MBBS were included and divided into two groups of 70 each. In phase 1, group A was given a didactic lecture (DL) on ADR and pharmacovigilance. Group B was also given DL with an addition of a case narrative exercise and they were asked to fill an ADR form. Both groups were assessed based on an MCQ questionnaire for knowledge and skill. After 15 days of washout period, groups were crossed and reassessed. Feedback from students was taken on a 5 point Likert’s scale.Results: The mean scores of batch A without case was 17.5±3 out of a total score of 25 marks, which showed improvement with case narrative and mean increased to 19.6± 2.4 (p 0.05). Similarly, Batch B showed improvement as well and the mean 17.7±3.1 score without case narrative increased to 19.2±2.7 (p <0.05). Student’s perception of the effectiveness of module-based teaching was positive.Conclusions: Case narrative in addition to didactic lecture enhanced awareness and may strengthen ADR reporting culture among the medical students.
