Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) among pharmacists in the Asir area of Saudi Arabia and their knowledge of ADR reporting systems.
- A survey involving 97 pharmacists shows that while 78.4% are aware of the ADR reporting system, only 56.7% recognize the Saudi FDA as the regulatory body, and 73.2% cite workplace stress as a major barrier to reporting.
- The findings highlight that although pharmacists have knowledge of ADR reporting, they generally have negative attitudes towards it, suggesting a need for enhanced training and awareness initiatives.
