“…The study findings have demonstrated that the community pharmacists possess a positive attitude toward ADR reporting, although the majority of them never reported any ADRs. In a study conducted by Cheema et al in London observed in their study "Community Pharmacist-Led New Medicines Service for patients with long-term medical condition -A cross-sectional study has revealed that ADR reporting has identified new service by community pharmacists to be offered to the patients voluntarily to identify potential ADRs that lead to increased morbidity in patients with chronic diseases not only improves patients health but also the reputation to the pharmacist [13] that similar findings were also observed in the studies conducted at United Arab Emirates and Malaysia with respect to the positive attitude of the community pharmacists in reporting ADRs in the community*pharmacy settings [12,14,15].…”

“…The findings suggest that the knowledge component score of the participants has increased from pre-training test score of 4.87±2.01 to post-test score of 7.09±0.68, which is a significant improvement (p<0.001) suggesting the influential role of training on exit-level knowledge of the participants. Findings of various studies regarding assessment of KAP of pharmacists toward ADR reporting suggest that pharmacists have inadequate knowledge regarding ADRs, predisposing factors and reporting of ADRs [15].…”

Objective: A prospective interventional study was conducted to evaluate the impact of educational intervention on knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP)(of rural community pharmacists toward adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting.Methods: A validated KAP questionnaire was administered on the enrolled community pharmacists in the study. SPSS software package version-19 was used to calculate the influence of educational intervention on KAP scores of the participants. Pre-training KAP scores were compared with the post-training KAP scores.Results: About 49 community pharmacists have participated in the study, 95.91% (n=47) were males, and 4.08% (n=2) were females. The mean±SD age of the participants was 40.93±7.84 years. The mean ± SD score in the knowledge component was significantly increased from 4.87±2.015 to 7.09 ± 0.68 (n=49, p<0.05). After the educational intervention, 77.55% (n=38) of participants could correctly define the ADRs, and 73.46% (n=36) of participants were aware of the consequence of ADRs. About 57.34% of participants disagree with the statement reporting of ADRs incurs the addtional workload with post education intervention. At the end of the study, the participants’ knowledge was significantly increased and participant pharmacists felt responsible toward ADR reporting.Conclusion: Educational interventional program have shown a tremendous change in knowledge and awareness of the respondents towards adverse drug reaction monitoring and reporting. It is well understood that there is a need for promoting the pharmacovigilance activities among community pharmacists.

Background Adverse drug event (ADE) reporting enhances early detection of risks associated with drug use. Pharmacists are uniquely suited to detect and report ADEs, but their contribution is diminished by under‐reporting. Objectives To assess pharmacists' knowledge and perceptions towards ADE reporting and to determine factors that improve or impede reporting using data from published survey articles using PRISMA. Methods A systematic review was conducted to identify published survey articles that assess pharmacists' knowledge of and attitudes towards ADE reporting. PubMed, CINAHL and Web of Science databases were searched. The following information was extracted from eligible articles: demographic factors, sample size, response rate, survey delivery, pharmacists' working setting, barriers and facilitators of ADE reporting. Results Only 68 survey articles were eligible to be included in the review (out of 820). The number of respondents ranges from 10 to 1870, and response rate varied between 10.5% and 100%. Pharmacists working in hospital settings and clinical pharmacists were more likely to report, to have better knowledge, favourable attitudes and familiarity with ADE reporting systems compared to pharmacists working in community settings. The main barrier towards reporting (recorded in >70% of the studies) was lack of confidence/basic knowledge of pharmacovigilance systems/concepts and ADE reporting process. Providing special training and education programmes related to pharmacovigilance concept was the most commonly mentioned factor to enhance reporting. Conclusion To improve ADE reporting by pharmacists, it is recommended to design and integrate educational interventions related to pharmacovigilance within the pharmacy curriculum or continuous education courses.

“…On the other hand, community pharmacists in Netherland were actively participating in ADR reporting and considered it as a legal implication toward their profession [20]. Community pharmacists from UAE and Hong Kong showed positive attitude toward ADR reporting though they had poor knowledge and awareness regarding ADR reporting system and pharmacovigilance activities, which probably might be the cause of under-reporting of ADRs [21,22].…”

Objective: Owing to the importance of safe use of medicines, adverse drug reaction (ADR) monitoring has become a fundamental component to be performed along with other health-care services. Pharmacist being drug experts are in good position to provide professional assistance for ADR management. The aim of this study is to summarize research findings from developed and developing countries as well as from Pakistan regarding evolving trends and future prospects of ADR monitoring and reporting by pharmacists. Methods: A total of 49 studies were reviewed regarding trends of ADR monitoring using different search engines including google scholar, pubmed and science direct. Results: The review highlighted that there is need to identify the barriers and gaps to further enhance the effectiveness of current ADR monitoring practices. Conclusion: Strong legislation is required in Pakistan to develop and implement an effective ADR monitoring program to reinforce the conception of effective pharmacovigilance system in Pakistan.
