Abstract

An Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) as “An appreciably harmful or unpleasant reaction” after taking a  medicine at normal doses, during normal use. Adverse drug reactions are a significant cause of morbidity  and mortality and it is considered non preventable. The term Adverse Drug Effect is convertible with  Adverse Drug Reaction. The meaning of ADR is different from the word side effect because side effects  are beneficial as well as harmful. The field under which ADR is studied is known as Pharmacovigilance.  An Adverse Drug Event (ADE) is an injury resulting from medical intervention related to a drug. The  Adverse drug reactions are classified into six types. Timing, the pattern of illness, the results of  investigations, and rechallenge can help idiosyncrasy causality to a suspected adverse drug reaction. If  possible in management, you can stop that drug and treat its effects. Suspicious adverse drug reactions  should be reported so that such cases can be prevented in the future.
