All ADRs were expected, mild and not serious. No risk factors related to the clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients were identified.Conclusion: The low incidence of ADRs, their short recovery time, and their categorization as âmildâ and ânot seriousâ demonstrates the high tolerability in the studied population; therefore, according to the study, the safety profile for NAPH seems to be adequate, with a suitable tolerability.Keywords: pharmacovigilance, naphazoline, hypromellose, adverse drug reaction, drug event monitoring |
