Abstract

An adverse drug reaction (ADR)is an damage affected by taking a medication. ADRs may happens following a single dose or prolonged administration of a medication or outcome from the combination of two or more medications. The meaning of this appearance varies from the meaning of \"side effect\", as this last appearance might also imply that the effects can be beneficial. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) remain a challenge in modern healthcare, particularly given the increasing complexity of therapeutics, an ageing population and rising multimorbidity. This article summarises some of the key facts about ADRs and explores aspects relating to their prevention, diagnosis, reporting and management in current clinical practice. The study of ADRs is the concern of the field known as pharmacovigilance. An adverse drug event (ADE) refers to any damage happensring at the time a medication is used, whether or not it is identified as a cause of the damage.[1] An ADR is a special type of ADE in which a causative relationship can be shown.
