Abstract

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of ADRs, the patients who are taking or receiving anti hypertensive medications. The study was conducted in 750 bedded tertiary care teaching hospital RIMS, kadapa, in both in-patient and outpatient department. The data was collected based on WHO guidelince (ADRMF). We are included 361 hypertensive patients, among that 81 patients were developed ADRs. Out of 81 ADRs 54 (66.6%) were mild, 20 (24.7%) ADRs were moderate and 7 (8.6%) ADRs were severe. In this study high incidence of ADRs were seen in males 49(60.5%) than females 32(39.5%). The present study conclude that ADRs detection and monitoring should be necessary in each and every hospital set up, because of unwanted effects caused by different drugs which can be easily identified and documented.
