Increase in Reports of Adverse Drug Reactions in Cyprus
November 9, 2026
During 2025 and the first ten months of 2026, nearly 600 reports of potential adverse drug reactions were recorded in Cyprus. Citizens are increasingly active in the drug safety monitoring process, mainly reporting gastrointestinal disorders and neurological symptoms. The director of Pharmaceutical Services mentioned that patient participation in submitting reports is on the rise. Despite this increase, the reports do not confirm a cause-and-effect relationship. Awareness of the reporting process increased significantly during the pandemic.
