Probing the in-depth analysis of Serious Adverse Drug Reactions in a tertiary care hospital of Central India

This study highlights the significant burden of serious ADRs within Central India, emphasising the need for heightened pharmacovigilance and targeted interventions, especially among adults. The prevalence of serious ADRs in females and adults and the impact on hospitalisations emphasise the need for cautious drug use, especially in inpatient settings. Limited understanding and reporting exist regarding the profile of serious ADRs in resource-limited countries. The findings will contribute to developing strategies for shaping future policies to promote the safer use of medicines. The under-reporting of ADRs in our setting and low-income countries is also a concern. Therefore, it is imperative to raise awareness about ADR reporting by healthcare professionals as well as patients to promote the safe utilisation of drugs.
