“…The most frequent ADRs according to the organs and affected systems, before and after IST, were Skin and appendage disorders, which could be attributed to anti-infectives of systemic use, with antibiotics being the most reported drugs, corroborating what was reported by Alsalimy et al 19 In the present study, this was due to the fact that most of the reports came from Internal medicine. Additionally, we observed other drug groups that were not previously reported such as groups B (Blood and blood-forming organs), C (Cardiovascular system), D (Dermatological), R (Respiratory system) of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical, ATC classification.…”

“…18 Previous studies report that pharmacists play an important role in drug safety, as experts in pharmacotherapy interacting in multidisciplinary healthcare teams. 19,23 The existence of an exclusive hospital pharmacovigilance service has been proposed. Another important result was observed related to the medical interconsultations corresponding to SADRs, which represented more than double the number before IST (32 vs 75).…”

Background: The clinical pharmacists play a key role in the Pharmacovigilance System. They are integrated to the health team performing pharmacotherapeutic follow-up (PF), drug information, at third level care hospital. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the clinical pharmacists’ role in increasing the reporting of suspected adverse drug reactions (SADRs) after including in-service training (IST) in their role, as well as to characterize the reported ADRs. Methods: A longitudinal study was performed, reports of SADRs received through medical interconsultations were evaluated, before and after applying IST, in 2 periods: January 2017 to June 2018 and July 2018 to December 2019. Results: Interconsultations after IST were increased by 168,4%; of these, 75 were ADRs reported to the Dirección General de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas (DIGEMID). Internal Medicine and Pneumology services reported more SADR in both periods. There was significant statistical difference in ADRs’ causality ( P = .001) and type ( P = .009). Severe ADRs highlighted after IST (4 vs 12). The most affected organ and system in both periods was skin and appendages. Conclusion: The reporting of SADRs augmented, reflected in an increase in medical interconsultations as a modality of SADR notification, after including IST to the role of the clinical pharmacist, allowing the development of convenient FP, which led to the evaluation of SARs. A higher number of serious ADRs were reported.
