Sažetak

In 1970 the WHO established a programme of great significance: collecting data on adverse drug reactions. Our country joined this programme by establishing the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Centre in Zagreb in 1974. This WHO programme represents the biggest resource of information on drug adverse reaction in the world and it holds more than 500 000 reports. Between 1982 and 1992, 62 reports were sent by the Health Station Velika. Most reports were related to antimicrobial drugs and NSAIDs (52%), 14.5% of them were related to cardiovascular drugs, while anxyolitics and antidepressants follow up with 13%, and antiepileptics with 4.5%. Most adverse reactions show effects on the skin (more than 50%), the digestive system (25%) and the nervous system (10%). Unfortunately, the share of G.P.-s involved in this project is under 20%. Therefore, it is important to mention the need for their greater participation, as well as the importance of educational benifits one can acquire if regular reports on side effects are carried out.
