Abstract
The objective of writing this review is to explore the knowledge and spread awareness among general population towards ADR (Adverse Drug Reactions) with their medical advice. By this review, people can take several precautions to keep safe themselves and others too. This also helps in minimising the morbidity and rate of mortality to control of adverse effects. Adverse drug reactions are one of the commonest medical challenges presenting to an emergency room in any hospital. Side effects are also a big public health concern and a major barrier to the development of new medicines. In the present scientist and researchers aim to find new way to treat or prevent diseases with more potent and safe drugs. The manifestations range from Stevens - Johnson syndrome (SJS), Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), Risk of miscarriage, seizures, increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, cause of blue skin discoloration and eye abnormalities are the common adverse drug reactions which can have severe morbidity and even mortality. Seek medical attention immediately if they experience adverse drug reactions while on treatment, should contact their health care professional, advise patients to immediately stop taking drug if they develop agitation, aggressive behaviour on the case along with supportive measures helps in salvaging most patients.
