Abstract：
:Adverse drug reactions are defined and examples are given. Four areas of concern are addressed, namely, defining drug reactions, identifying some of the factors contributing to the adverse drug reactions, implications of adverse drug reactions for health-care providers, and preventive measures which impact on the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. It is implied that increased knowledge and research are important factors in the control of these problems.
