Surveillance of adverse drug reactions at an adverse drug reaction monitoring centre in Central India: a 7-year surveillance study.

A high number of ADRs caused by antimicrobials is an alarming situation, which adds up to antimicrobial resistance. Judicious use of antimicrobials is yet again proven as need of the hour. Under-reporting of ADRs is evident in our study and is a major factor for the delay in the withdrawal of drugs responsible for causing ADRs. Interventions in terms of training and feedback are suggested to encourage and improve ADR reporting.
