Abstract

Adverse reactions reported among patients in a 1.552-bed psychiatric hospital during one year are reviewed in detail. Most commonly encountered were neurological, psychiatric, and gastrointestinal reactions. The function of the adverse reaction unit has been extended from epidemiological surveys to various areas of psychopharmacological practice, and the unit is also being utilized increasingly for teaching and for consultation.
