Adverse
drug reaction programme in a multispeciality hospital
Because of a rapid increase in the list of newer
drugs launched in the market in the last few decades;
adverse drug reaction monitoring of these drugs
has assumed prime importance. Since India is a
country, which caters to the maximum number of
human population for the final assessment of drug
safety as a part of post marketing surveillance
studies, it becomes necessary to report any untoward
reaction of any pharmaceutical product.
