Assessment and Management of Adverse Drug Reaction in Clinical Practice: A quantitative study

Abstract

The importance of managing and evaluating adverse drug reactions in medical care is for guaranteeing patient safety and achieving the best medical results. ADRs can vary from slight and brief to extreme and life-threatening and can appear in any medical situation. This abstract underline the value of organized procedures for the assessment and managing of ADRs. The assessment of ADRs involves gathering comprehensive patient information, including medical history, medication use, and symptomatology. Recognizing the temporal relationship between drug administration and the onset of adverse events is essential for accurate identification and assessment. Various tools, such as causality assessment algorithms and probability scales, aid in determining the likelihood of the drug's involvement in the adverse event. Once an ADR is identified, management strategies should be implemented promptly. It is important to keep track of patients who may be particularly susceptible to adverse drug reactions, and to take necessary steps to prevent or manage any results that arise, such as stopping or altering the problematic drug, providing supportive care, or taking some other action in the case of serious responses. Effective assessment and management of ADRs in clinical practice require a systematic approach that includes thorough patient evaluation, accurate causality assessment, and appropriate intervention strategies. This comprehensive approach contributes to patient safety, improves healthcare outcomes, and promotes rational drug use.
