title: [Adverse drug reactions. Nursing should notify them].
abstract: Professionals in the nursing field need be conscious of the importance of their role in the detection of suspected cases of adverse reactions to medication, in light of nurses' role in the control and follow-up of pharmacological treatment. Both the ignorance of the Medication Law, which obliges that notice of an adverse reaction to medication be served to the Center of Pharmacological Vigilance, as well as of the tools necessary for this notice, a yellow card, are the main causes why the number of these notifications is so low in the nursing profession.
