How to respond to adverse drug reactions.
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are part of the risks, professional responsibilities, and liabilities inherent to veterinary medicine. The incidence of proven ADRs is not known, but veterinarians should anticipate, plan, and practice a response for patients that experience adverse reactions. The attending veterinarian should work closely with professional services personnel at pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide care for those patients, to investigate causes of ADRs, and to factually improve reports of ADRs that can be of considerable medicolegal benefit to the client and the profession.
