There is a rapid increase in the number of new drugs entering the market from last few decades,India being the second most populated country has over one billion potential drug consumers, and no amont of pre-clinical and clinical data is sufficient to conclude the complete safety of a drug, under this scenario it becomes necessary to report any untoward reaction of any pharmaceutical product to assess its safety and efficacy to ensure maximal patient health.
In India, general practitioners, with an large outpatient base tend to be among the first ones to use the drugs entering the market, hence they are in the best position to assess the adverse drug reactions associated with drugs.
