Adverse Drug Effects

Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) or impact is a worldwide health issue that causes morbidity, death, and financial hardship. WHO defines it as “any unpleasant and unexpected response to a medicine that occurs at levels usually employed in man for disease prevention, diagnosis, or therapy, or the alteration of physiological function.”

The pathogenesis of ADRs is multifaceted, with pharmacological, immunological, and genetic variables all interacting. Women, fetuses, and people with renal illnesses are more sensitive, with variables including body weight and fat deposition, alcohol intake, race and ethnicity, smoking, and concurrent conditions all impacting ADRs. ADRs have traditionally been classed as Type A/Augmented and Type B/Bizzare, with four more subcategories introduced recently.

The identification and reporting of ADR are critical. ADRs can mimic many common indications and symptoms. Drug interactions should be considered while writing prescriptions. The key to recording ADRs has been spontaneous reporting. Postmarketing clinical evaluation of pharmaceuticals is critical because its behaviour may differ from premarketing examination due to various variables. To control ADRs, it is usual practice to modify the medication regimen or replace the suspicious medicine. Addressing knowledge gaps and promoting reporting are critical components of avoiding ADRs.
