Adverse drug reaction, causality, chemotherapy, pharmacovigilance.

Aim: The objective of the study was to assess the causality, severity and preventability of ADRs detected by chemotherapeutic medications and to assess their management. Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted for 6 months among 108 patients. Results: The study found a total of 263 ADRs, with the gastrointestinal system being the most affected organ system (28.6%).The drug Paclitaxel caused the highest number of ADRs when administered as monotherapy, while paclitaxel+carboplatin caused the highest number of ADRs when taken in combination. Causality was assessed using Naranjo’s causality assessment scale, it was found that 87.1% of the ADRs were probable, 7.6% were possible, and 5.3% were definite. The severity of ADRs was assessed using the Hartwig & Siegal scale, and the study found that 49.8% of ADRs were moderate level 3, 34.6% were moderate level 4a, 10.3% were mild level 2, 4.2% were moderate level 4b, and 1.1% were mild level 1.The preventability of the ADRs was assessed using the Modified Schumock and Thornton preventability scale, it was found that 68.4% of ADRs were not preventable, 18.6% were probably preventable, and 12.9% were definitely preventable. The study also found that the ADRs were managed by providing additional treatment without changing the drug regimen. Conclusion : ADRs are the major concern in patient safety and are responsible for a significant amount of mortality and morbidity, as well as financial burden on patients. It is essential to keep ADR in track, and early detection/ monitoring could help reduce the risk of one’s health.
