Abstract:

Modern therapy has changed the way that the diseases are controlled and has brought significant benefits to life, as it reduced morbidity and mortality rates. In spite of all the benefits, adverse drug reactions (ADR) are a common, often preventable cause of illness, disability and even death, and they had become a major problem of the health system. The voluntary, spontaneous reporting system for suspected adverse drug reactions is the main method for detecting rare, unexpected side effects of the drugs. The usefulness of this method may be compromised if the reporting rate is low.
Our study was designed to assess the attitude of the physicians towards the adverse drug reactions reporting system and the factors that cause under-reporting.
