Prospective evaluation of adverse drug experiences (ADE) in patients admitted in the Respiratory Section of a General Hospital. 32 ADE's were collected (14.6%). Mean age and stay-length were longer in ADE group but with no statistical significance. Theophyllines, beta-mimetics and antibiotics were the more frequent responsibilities of ADE's. ADE's class more frequently reported was epigastralgia-nausea in 40.6%, followed by dermic disorders in 18.75%. No deaths were attributed to ADE's ans only 9 required an specific treatment. Using Naranjo's and Venulet's algorithms we have found them as non-comparable tests.
