Abstract

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are types of adverse drug events (ADEs).1 ADEs include ADRs, medication errors, and other drug-related problems. ADEs are the negative consequences of drug misadventures. Henri Manasse defined drug misadventure as the iatrogenic hazard that is an inherent risk when drug therapy is indicated. This chapter will focus on ADRs.
