Pharmacists’ Experiences on Adverse Drug Reactions in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study
More than two-thirds of participants reported having participated in ADR reporting, with greater adherence observed in hospital settings. Pharmacists predominantly depend on the Saudi Food and Drug Administration/National Pharmacovigilance Centre and hospital drug information centers for reporting, with a preference for online submission methods. Targeted educational interventions addressing gaps in knowledge, reporting procedures, and form complexity could improve ADR reporting practices. These findings support the need for structured training and policy measures to strengthen pharmacovigilance system.
