“…There is increasing evidence showing that hospital pharmacists can make a considerable contribution to spontaneous reporting systems, both in terms of the quantity and quality of reports [12][13][14]. In China, hospital pharmacists worked in the area of dispensary, clinical pharmacy and administration, and reported ADRs as part of their professional responsibility.…”

“…He should visit the wards and go through the patients' records and be vigilant of possible ADRs. He should not hesitate to discuss with ward staff when an ADR is likely to occur in particular clinical settings (19,20). The clinical staff must be responsive and discuss with the pharmacist a possible alternative therapy if they feel that there is a high risk of an ADR.…”

1We have retrospectively analysed data collected by a local adverse drug reactions reporting scheme in an acute hospital medical setting and have determined the numbers and types of reactions that would have merited notification as yellow card reports according to the guidelines of the Committee on Safety of Medicines. 2The data related to 20 695 consecutive acute general medical admissions on seven general medical wards (140 beds) and were collected over 3 years, from April 1990 to March 1993. 3Over 3 years there were 1420 reports of suspected adverse drug reactions, a rate of 68.7 per 1000 admissions. 4If the guidelines for reporting issued by the Committee on Safety of Medicines had been strictly followed, 477 yellow cards would have been sent (23.1 per 1000 admissions). In 357 of these reports (74.8%), the reaction had caused admission to hospital. Only 31 of the 477 potential cards (6.5%) involved black triangle drugs and 10 of these were for minor reactions. 5Only 30 of the 477 potential yellow cards (6.3%) were known to have been sent. The majority of those reactions not reported were for drug‐related admissions, most of which were for well‐known reactions to established drugs. 6We have confirmed and quantified the extent of under‐reporting of serious suspected adverse drug reactions to the Committee on Safety of Medicines from our hospital medical unit.
