The establishment of a project for the standardization of international reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADR), sponsored by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences is described. The need to establish requirements for properly diagnosing a given suspected ADR and to describe it with the correct terms is demonstrated. However in view of the difficulties involved, it is suggested that the present deliberate approach needs to be reconsidered.
