Abstract
A formalized system of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting was instituted at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Australia, in August 1975. The present report reviews the results obtained from this system after a 12 mo. period of operation. A significant number of reports associated with use of antibiotics and radiographic contrast media were received. The importance of feed-back of ADR information to prescribers is emphasised.Keywords
