Objective: To assess ADRs with reference to causative drugs, organ systems involved and seriousness of reactions.Methods: A prospective study conducted over a period of 1 y. The spontaneous adverse drug reactions reported between July 2016 and July 2017 at AMC centre BRIMS, Bidar were analyzed using Naranjo’s scale. Causality assessment of suspected drugs involved, system affected, and seriousness of reactions was assessed.Results: GIT system was most commonly involved, followed by generalized features, skin and appendages, CNS i. e, extrapyramidal system and dizziness, hearing and vestibular systems.Conclusion: Majority of the ADRs reported were mild to moderate severity and 20% can be categorized as severe reactions, which needed to treat under hospitalization

Background: the aim of the study was to monitor all adverse drug reactions in the departments of Medicine, Paediatrics and Surgery in a Tertiary Care Hospital.Methods: It was a prospective study undertaken in a 300 bedded tertiary care hospital. Patients presenting with adverse drug reactions in Medicine, Paediatrics and Surgery Departments were studied. Causality and severity of the adverse drug reactions were analysed Other parameters such as age wise and gender wise distribution of the ADRs, types of ADRs and drugs causing ADRs were studied.Results: There were 33 cases of ADRs were enrolled for the study in the duration of Sept. 2016 to Aug. 2017. Female preponderance was seen. The largest number of ADRs were seen in the age group of 21-30 years (30.3%). The most common ADR was skin rash (30.3%) followed by periorbital edema (12%). There were two SAEs namely Anaphylaxis and Steven Johnson syndrome. The most offending class of drug was antibiotics (30.3%) followed by intravenous fluids (12.1%).Conclusions: The maximum number of cases were reported from the Medicine Department which was 11 (33.33%). The highest number of ADRs fell in the probable category (63.6%). The number of cases of mild and moderate severity were equal (42.4%). The knowledge of these adverse drug reactions is necessary while prescribing drugs to patients as patient safety is absolutely essential. Also the healthcare provided by the institution will improve. This data has been collected with a view to establish an ADR monitoring centre at our hospital.

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality across the world and contribute to a significant economic burden on healthcare resources and community. In children, monitoring ADRs is essential as adequate clinical trials are lacking in this group. So, this study was undertaken to assess the ADR pattern in a paediatric population in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: A cross sectional, retrospective study was done at ADR monitoring centre (AMC) for a period of 3 years in a tertiary care hospital. All the ADRs reported by the Department of Paediatrics to AMC were collected and analyzed for age group affected, demographic profile, ADR pattern, drug group, systems affected, causality and severity of the ADR.Results: During the study period, a total of 102 ADRs were reported to the AMC from the paediatric department. Out of 102 ADRs reported, males represented 60.8% and females represented 39.2%. Maximum number of ADRs were seen in the age group of 1-5 years (43.3%). Most common ADR reported was maculopapular rash (27.5%) followed by diarrhoea (14.7%). The most common drug class causing ADRs are antibiotics (36.3%) followed by anticonvulsants (18.6%). Vaccines contributed to 14.7% of all reported ADRs. Majority of the ADRs were of probable (70.6%) causality and moderate (52%) in severity.Conclusions: ADRs were reported more among under 5 years of age and antibiotics were the common implicated causative agents. Most of the reactions were of moderate severity. Information acquired through ADR reporting may be useful in identifying and minimizing preventable ADRs and augmenting the knowledge of the prescribers to deal with ADRs more efficiently.

The observational and brief cross section study was conducted in the ADR monitoring centre, department of pharmacology, SVS MEDICAL HOSPITAL. The adverse drug reactions (ADR) reported by physician of dermatology department of SVSMH were collected and then causality, severity and preventability assessment was done. The results were presented as number and percentage. Total of 544 patients were observed with 15 suspected ADRs. The incidence of dermatological ADR was 3.78%. Maximum incidence of dermatological ADRs were observed with anti-inflammatory agents and immunosuppressive (33.30%) followed by antibiotic drugs (13.3%).Dermatological adverse drug reactions were a common occurrence and awareness about them was found to be essential for early detection and prevention. The healthcare system can promote the spontaneous reporting of dermatological ADR top Pharmacovigilance centre's for ensuring safe drug use and patient care. . Most of the reported ADRs were possible, definitely preventable and mild in nature. Our study suggests that there is a need of intensive monitoring for ADRs in tertiary care hospital for early detection and to ensure the patient safety. Keywords: adverse drug reaction, casualty, severity, probability.
