Adverse reactions to drugs: a 12-month hospital survey.
A formalised system of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting was instituted at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in August 1975. The present report reviews the results obtained from this system after a 12-month period of operation. A significant number of reports associated with the use of antibiotics and radiographic contrast media were received. The importance of "feed-back" of ADR information to prescribers is emphasised.
