The study was done to know about the knowledge and Personal experiences of adverse drug reactions and their reporting among doctors, nurses and pharmacists. This is a questionnaire type of study and the questionnaires were distributed to the doctors, nurses and pharmacists. Books were the main source of knowledge about Adverse Drug Reactions according to the respondents, antibiotics and NSAIDS were the most common drugs causing ADRs manifesting as skin rashes. Epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea etc. Though a majority of the respondents were aware of the National Pharmacovigilance started by CDSCO, any a few have reported the ADRS experienced by them to the reporting Centre. About 80% of the respondents agree that alternative medicines do not cause ADRs and allopathic is the safety medication.
