“…Noel, Sushma, and Guido (2004) [22] reported that, in a prospective hospital-based study, 32% of the cADRs were due to chemotherapeutic agents like ABs [22]. ADRs involving skin is also common in developing countries like-Bangladesh, India [11,20,[23][24][25][26]. A study conducted in the outpatient department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh found that about 43% of ADRs were caused by ABs, and Skin and Appendages was the second most affected system (32%) next to the GIT (56%) [23].…”

Medication-related harm or adverse drug reaction is a great global health concern today. They are frequent and, most often, devastating. With the rising incidences of drug-related adverse outcomes, it is imperative that clinicians have the knowledge and understanding of these occurrences to prevent, diagnose, and manage them properly. Skin is a very commonly affected organ system, and incidences of cutaneous adverse drug reactions are between 1-5% depending on the geographic location. Up to 60% or more of all adverse drug reactions may represent cutaneous reactions. These may fall into either of the dose-dependent or dose-independent categories. Being the most prescribed and utilized drug group, antibiotics have been implicated as one of the major drug groups causing cutaneous drug reactions. There is ample evidence that antibiotics cause severe and non-severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions. A review of the present literature was done using MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, and other search engines to gather evidence to find how extensive the problem is and how much the burden is. Which will enlighten clinicians from all backgrounds and medical students and help them deal with cutaneous adverse drug reactions more prudently.

“…9 The current status of the physicians about ADR reporting has been evaluated in many studies so far showing lack of knowledge and practice. 10,11 In countries like Bangladesh with high population density, limited resources and fragmented health-care system, doctors remain substantially occupied in treatment and patient care. Besides, the ADR reporting has not yet been established as an obligatory task in our medical practice despite its presence on paper.…”

Inadequate resources and a fragmented healthcare system in Bangladesh lead to the practice of almost non-reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADR). Pharmacists may offer service in this regard to strengthen pharmacovigilance if given the appropriate opportunity. To evaluate their preparedness, the current cross-sectional study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude and perception (KAP) of pharmacy students about the ADR reporting system. A validated self-administered and structured questionnaire was filled out online upon informed consent by 400 final-year and master-level participants from 22 public and private universities. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS, v.23.0) and Microsoft Excel. The average knowledge score of the students came out as 2.93 (SD=0.6) out of 5. While fundamental knowledge regarding ADR was displayed well by the participants such as agreeing to ‘side effects and ADRs are different’ (85%), advanced conceptual understanding exhibited lacking. For example, variable like ‘distinguishing between ADR and an adverse drug event’, ‘not all ADRs are known before a drug is marketed’, and ‘before ADR reporting, drug’s association needs no confirmation’ showed 14%, 41% and 5% correctness, respectively. However, 98% of the participants emphasized the need for ADR reporting, in both serious and non-serious cases, 85% knew that anybody can report ADR and approximately the same percentage of students could identify the organization receiving reports. Less than half (47%) were familiar with the authorized ADR reporting form and 40% reportedly claimed that they knew when and how to report. The need for more relevant education about this was supported by most of the students (91.8%). Participants mostly agreed about the need for reporting and gaining more overall awareness about the ADR reporting procedure. The findings suggest that increased knowledge, training, assertiveness and practice among all stakeholders are necessary for a spontaneous ADR reporting system in the country. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm.
