BACKGROUND Globally, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) make a substantial contribution to ill health. Introducing a systematic approach to patient surveillance could mitigate these problems. Formalized medication monitoring schedules have been proposed as one strategy to diagnose and action side-effects and the problems emanating from adverse drug reactions. To date, most developments have been linked to antipsychotic medications. Several scales, checklists, and side-effect profiles are available…

Adverse Drug Reactions, Power, Harm Reduction, Regulation and the ADRe Profiles
TLDR
It is indicated how regulatory initiatives to reduce antipsychotic prescribing can be supported by systematic monitoring and documentation of patients’ signs and symptoms of putative adverse drug reactions, and the rationale and support for professionals’ responses to identified problems.
Nurse-led medicines monitoring: a study examining the effects of the West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction Profile.
TLDR
Whether the nurse-led West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction (WWADR) Profile for Mental Health Medicines could improve recognition and management of ADRs in a crisis resolution home treatment service is explored.
Adverse drug reactions: managing the risk.
TLDR
The format of the electronic records requires modification to ensure that systems are in place to document adverse drug reactions and the physical health of those with mental illness and the transition to electronic records needs to be carefully managed.
Adverse drug reactions: treatment burdens and nurse-led medication monitoring.
TLDR
It is indicated that nurses are well-placed to monitor and reduce drug-related morbidity, and builds upon previous work which prioritizes the monitoring of prescribed medicine in a nurse-led adverse drug reaction profile.
Development and clinical gains of nurse-led medication monitoring profiles.
TLDR
An instrument for nurse-led medication monitoring, the West Wales Adverse Drug Reaction profile for respiratory medicines, was valid and reliable, and helped to detect and ameliorate drug-related harm.
Assessment of adverse effects in clinical studies of antipsychotic medication: survey of methods used
TLDR
The way in which safety and tolerability data are collected and reported in clinical studies does not allow for fair and meaningful comparison of the relative risk profiles of individual antipsychotic drugs.
Adverse Drug Reactions, Nursing and Policy: A Narrative Review
TLDR
Policy and strategies to help nurses minimise and manage Adverse Drug Reactions to prescription medicines and incorporate strategies to identify and ameliorate preventable ADRs into routine work are suggested.
Adverse reactions to antidepressants.
TLDR
Most complaints listed as adverse reactions in people with depression were more common when they were medication-free rather than during their treatment with antidepressants, suggesting attention to specific adverse reactions may improve adherence to antidepressant treatment.
Adverse Drug Reactions, Nursing and Policy: A Narrative
TLDR
Policy and strategies to help nurses minimise and manage Adverse Drug Reactions to prescription medicines and incorporate strategies to identify and ameliorate preventable ADRs into routine work are suggested.
Adverse drug reactions: reducing the burden of treatment.

    Nursing standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987)

TLDR
While clinical research is needed to explore feasible strategies to ameliorate the known adverse effects of treatments, academics need to develop detailed research databases to uncover the less well-established adverse effects, which may be of considerable public health importance.

TLDR
The introduction of nurse-administered evaluation checklists in relation to nurse prescribing initiatives and division of professional responsibilities for medication management suggests that empowering nurses to address the 'care gaps' in medication management may benefit service users.
Minimizing side-effects: the clinical impact of nurse-administered 'side-effect' checklists.
TLDR
The usefulness of the evaluation checklists for detecting unattended problems, in conjunction with the responses of service users, suggests that it may be clinically effective to establish procedures to systematically monitor people with serious mental illness for adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
Antipsychotic drug use in older adults.
TLDR
Antipsychotics can relieve symptoms in the older adult, but lower dosages and more frequent assessments are necessary than for younger adults, and most studies show only modest efficacy, while some show worsening of symptoms.

Patient-rated versus clinician-rated side effects of drug treatment in schizophrenia. Clinical validation of a self-rating version of the UKU Side Effect Rating Scale (UKU-SERS-Pat)
TLDR
It is suggested that patient rated side effects may provide important clinical information not detected by clinician rated interviews and can be utilised both in clinical investigations, in development of treatment programs and for individual patients in clinical practice.
A Self-Rating Scale for Measuring Neuroleptic Side-Effects
TLDR
The LUNSERS is an efficient, reliable and valid method of assessing neuroleptic side-effects and discriminated between patients and non-medicated controls, who scored differently for real side- effects but not for ‘red herring’ items.
Enhancing Case Managers' Skills in the Assessment and Management of Antipsychotic Medication Side-Effects
TLDR
Training cases managers in the assessment and management of side-effects may help to reduce their impact on the lives of people prescribed neuroleptic medication.
Measurement of antipsychotic‐induced side effects: Support for the validity of a self‐report (LUNSERS) versus structured interview (UKU) approach to measurement
TLDR
The LUNSERS is a valuable self‐report measure of antipsychotic side effects, particularly in cases where red herring scores are low, and appears to enable detection of patients that may be over‐reporting symptomatology.
Practice nurses and the care of patients receiving depot neuroleptic treatment: views on training, confidence and use of structured assessment.
TLDR
There was a significant relationship between inadequate knowledge of schizophrenia to carry out the task of medication management and lack of confidence in practice nurses working in south-west London.
Extrapyramidal symptom profiles assessed with the Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptom Scale: comparison with Western scales in the clinical double-blind studies of schizophrenic patients treated with either olanzapine or haloperidol
TLDR
Preliminary and retrospective work suggests that the DIEPSS can be used to operationally define the presence or absence, and make the clinical diagnosis, of specific EPS syndromes.
