Opis

ADRs can be understood as a harmful, unintended response related to the use of drugs. They usually occur at doses normally used for prophylaxis, diagnosis, treatment and/or modification of physiological function. The knowledge about adverse reactions is fundamental, since they are a problem of enormous importance in clinical practice. In fact, these are responsible for causing hospitalizations, increasing hospital length of stay, as well as substantially increasing morbidities. In addition, they have a negative impact on the patient's quality of life, leading to a loss of trust in health professionals. Adverse reactions associated with taking medications are common and can present a multiplicity of clinical manifestations in the oral cavity, making it essential for physicians to be familiar with them.
