ABSTRACT

Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are a major cause of death and morbidity, posing a significant burden on society. Many studies have found that antibiotics are a major class of drugs that cause adverse drug reactions (ADRs). From November 2013 to April 2014, a retrospective, noninterventional study was conducted in the Medicine and Pediatrics unit of a tertiary care hospital in Ghaziabad to monitor the adverse drug reactions of antibiotics prescribed by physicians and pediatricians. The goal was to identify the ten most common antibiotics that caused ADRs, determine the most commonly affected organ system, and assess causality. A total of 126 adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were identified in 80 patients, with 42 (52.5%) occurring in male patients and 38 (47.5%) in female patients. The age wise distribution revealed that adult patients showed more incidence (ADR), Antibiotics, Beta of ADRs 46(57.5%), followed by children 26 (32.5%) and Geriatrics 8 (10%).

Keywords: Adverse drug reaction, adverse drug event, Paediatrics, Geriatrics.
