Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate and analyse adverse drug reactions to antibiotics in patients of a tertiary care hospital at Hyderabad. Prospective observational study was carried out for a period of one year from January 2015- December 2015 in both outpatient clinics and hospital wards. A total number of 138 ADRs were reported during this one year period .98 were males and 40 were females . .Maximum number of patients were from General Medicine department followed by General Surgery followed by Dermatology. Most of the reactions were mild (77.4%). Gastrointestinal system was the most commonly affected organ. In majority of the ADRs the suspected drug was withdrawn (60.8%). Maximum reporting of the ADRs was done by the attending doctors and Pharm-D students making regular rounds in the wards. In the outpatient clinics, reporting was through senior residents and faculty. The association between a drug and ADR was evaluated using the Naranjo scale. In order to prevent or reduce harm to patients and thus improve public health, mechanisms for evaluating and monitoring public health, evaluating and monitoring the safety of medicines in medical use are vital.
