Adverse Reactions

Adverse Drug Reaction Overview

[An overview of the ADR information that may affect prescribing decisions. It should contain: serious and important ADRs; the most frequent ADRs; and ADRs that most commonly result in clinical intervention.]

Clinical Trial Adverse Drug Reactions

Because clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions the adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug. Adverse drug reaction information from clinical trials is useful for identifying drug-related adverse events and for approximating rates.
