Adverse Drug Reactions and Case Studies

A medication-induced injury is known as an adverse drug reaction (ADR). ADRs can occur after a single dose or sustained administration of a medicine, or they can occur when two or more drugs are combined. Because side effects can be beneficial as well as harmful, this concept varies from the term "side effect." The field of pharmacovigilance is concerned with the study of ADRs. Any injury that occurs while a drug is consumed, whether or not it is identified as a cause of the injury, is referred to as an adverse drug event (ADE). An ADR is a sort of ADE in which a cause-and-effect link can be demonstrated.
