ABSTRACT Introduction An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is any undesirable effect of a drug to the patient beyond its anticipated therapeutic effects while used clinically. Aims and objective To analyze the incidence of ADRs in a tertiary care hospital reported from April 2015 till December 2017. Materials and methods Two hundred ADR forms were included in the study and analyzed. These were codified into various drug classes according to anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification based on WHO–ATC Index 2019 besides categorized into preventable or not modified Schumock and Thornton scale. Severity was assessed based on a scale by Hartwig et al. Also, the ADRs were classified based on MedDRA 13.01 to system organ class (SOC) and preferred terms (PT) falling under respective SOC. Results Maximum ADRs were reported by dermatology. Most commonly, it involved gastrointestinal system (GIT) followed by skin. Antibiotics and anti-cancer drugs caused maximum ADRs. About two-thirds were classifiable as moderate to severe, whereas about one-third were preventable. About 10% of cases were such that left deep impact of sequelae or were not recovered and one case was fatal. Conclusion Extreme vigilance by clinicians is of utmost crucial virtue in detecting, diagnosing, and reporting such ADR for continued drug safety monitoring. How to cite this article Gupta AK.

Background: Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an inevitable risk associated with all the prescribed medicines. They vary in severity & duration in any population. Thus, ADRs are monitored and assessed on a large scale in our country by the Pharmacovigilance programme of India through adverse drug reaction monitoring centres. This study was taken to assess the pattern of ADR reported in a tertiary care hospital in Haryana.Methods: This study was conducted in the Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College, Karnal, Haryana from January 2018 to June 2019. ADRs were collected from different departments and were analysed according to gender, age, department wise distribution, drugs class involved and ADR that was reported.Results: A total of 233 ADRs were reported in the above mentioned period. Females were affected more than males, maximum number reported in the age group of 21-60 years. The maximum number of ADRs reported was from Dermatology department. Antimicrobials were the class of drugs that were responsible for the maximum number of ADRs reported. Skin manifestations of various types were the most reported ADRs.Conclusions: By keeping a careful and timely watch majority of the ADRS can be prevented by early intervention. There is also a need to ensure timely check on the drugs supplied by the various pharmaceutical companies who get the contract for government supply. This will be a step towards improving patient safety.
