ANNOUNCEMENTS

PEDIATRIC ONCALL introduces

ADVERSE DRUG REACTION INFORMATION SYSTEM (ADRIS)
This system has been established to determine unknown adverse effects of drugs so that effective action can be undertaken if the cause and effect can be established. This ADR monitoring program is voluntary and depends on your co-operation to accurately report adverse drug reactions. A simple online form is all that needs to be filled and then the matter will be displayed on the website so that more and more doctors can be careful when prescribing this drug and if required information can be passed on to higher authorities for further action.

As conscientious doctors caring genuinely for the patients, this aspect of surveillance can be a step towards safer medicine. A small time out of your busy practice to report any adverse effect will go a long way to prevent future problems in lot of patients.
