Every case of adverse reaction must be first reported
by the attending physician to the Chairman of the Pharmacy and Therapeutic
Committee. The attending physicians should provide a complete adverse reaction
report, containing the name of the drug, route of administration, date of starting
and ending the treatment, the indication for which drugs were used, adverse reactions
noted for them, and steps taken to treat these. The same is then ultimately
recorded in medical records. The PTC interacts with the government bodies like the
Drugs Controller General of India, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (New
Delhi), and Post Graduate Institute (Chandigarh) for consultation.
