Fixed drug eruption was the commonest reaction followed by Urticaria, Pruritus, Lichenoid eruption and Acneiform eruption in this order. Common offending drugs, in order of frequency are Sulphonamides, NSAIDs, Isoniazid and other antibiotics.Conclusion: By implementing the ADR reporting, one can promote drug safety and better patient care, among healthcare professionals and be aware of these concerns so that they might be anticipated and addressed in future patients with CADRs.
