Inclination of Pharmacological Drugs in Incidence of ADRs

The World Health Organization defines an adverse drug reaction (ADR) as a response to a drug which is noxious and unintended, and which occurs at doses normally used in man for the prophylaxis, diagnosis, or therapy of disease, or for the modification of physiological function. The fact that drugs might have effects on humans other than the ones intended has been known for many years. During the six month study period, a total 232 patients visited the tertiary care hospital and Celestee skin and hair Clinic. Antibiotics was highest in affecting patients whereas most cases were of Drug Induced Urticaria and Oral Route being the most common.
