Abstract
The Purpose of this study is to assess and evaluate the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reports submitted to the new regional Pharmacovigilance (PV) center at Alkarak Governmental Teaching Hospital in south Jordan. ADRs forms were distributed to the hospital departments. The forms were completed and collected for assessment when suspected ADR occurred. Forty five ADRs reports were received during the first 10 months. Antibiotics and analgesics were among the most commonly drugs involved in causing ADRs. Allergic reactions and gastrointestinal symptoms were the commonest reported ADRs. According to our experience in this study, establishment of a new regional PV center increases the awareness of health care providers about PV and encourages reporting of ADRs.
