Abstract
Spontaneous adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting is the backbone of pharmacovigilance. However, -un derreporting is a huge problem due to lack of reporting practices amongst healthcare professionals. This cross-sectional, questionnaire based study was conducted to find out the factor responsible for under-reporting o- f ad verse drug reaction reporting amongst resident doctors. Majority of the respondents felt that ADR reporting is necessary and is a professional obligation, but should be voluntary. Majority of the respondents suggested that lack of awareness was the major factor. Other factors responsible for underreporting of ADRs were lake of monitoring system in the- Hos pital, lack of time, concern that the reporter may be blamed, lack of confidence, laziness and fear of legal action.- Una wareness for the pharmacovigilance needs attention on priority basis, not only for the success of the pharmacovigilance programme, but also better clinical management of the patients in general.
