Background: In India, spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) by healthcare professionals was initiated in 2010. The drug safety issues for geriatric population are critical due to age-related physiological changes, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics changes. Objective: Our objective was to assess the spontaneous reports of adverse drug reactions, observed in geriatric patient...

Oncology is one of the areas of medicine with the most active research being conducted on new drugs. New pharmacological entities frequently enter the clinical arena, and therefore, the safety profile of anticancer products deserves continuous monitoring. However, only very severe and (unusual) suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are usually reported, since cancer patients develop ADRs very...

AIMS In Ireland there are relatively fewer adverse drug reaction (ADR/yellow card) reports from doctors in hospital than in general practice. The aim of this study was to review the attitudes to reporting of ADRs of hospital doctors and to determine the effect of making yellow cards freely available. METHODS A postal survey of actively practising doctors with follow-up of nonresponders was un...

the monitoring and reporting of adverse drug reactions (adrs) in hospitals aims to identify and quantify the risks associated with the use of drugs. the present study was performed to characterize the rate and the pattern of adrs, due to cardiovascular drugs and anticoagulants, in a tertiary care teaching hospital. for this purpose, all the patients treated with cardiovascular drugs and anticoa...

OBJECTIVE Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic drugs. They inactivate incretin hormones but also have many other effects throughout the body, among which are effects on the immune system. This might result in an increased infection risk. This study assessed the association between use of DPP-4 inhibitors and the reporting of infections. RESEARCH DESIGN AND...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of drug safety in the pediatric population of China is limited. This study was designed to evaluate ADRs in children reported to the spontaneous reporting system (SRS) of Shanghai in 2009. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Crude ADR reports submitted to Shanghai SRS in 2009 for individuals aged from birth to 17 years (including 17 years) were included. Data were analyzed...

Background: Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reaction is globally practiced it under pharmacovigilance programme. But the major drawback of this system is underreporting. In this context the present survey was conducted, to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of spontaneous ADR reporting among doctors and nurses in a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India. Methods: A cross-...
