Abstract
Objective: To assess the pattern and prevalence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported by the neurology department and review the benefits of the pharmaceutical care plan. Materials and Methods: A total of 148 stroke cases with previous medication history correlated with current complaints leading to hospitalization were included in the prospective study for one year in the neurology department. Results: This study identified non-adherence (50%) and ADRs (38%). Ignorance of the disease, its complications, and the possible adverse effects of self-medication have been identified as risk factors. The medication-related problems were mainly observed with antimicrobials, central nervous system (CNS), central venous system (CVS), and inflammatory and immune modulators. Conclusion: The risk factors involved are illiteracy regarding prescribed therapy benefits. In the patient’s medication therapy, warfarin has more adverse events, and an observation of the patient’s plasma concentration levels increased.
