Online search engines, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Research gate were used to obtain related articles. Approximately, 19 articles were obtained, of which 12 were included and 7 were excluded. After the review and analysis, it was concluded that clinical pharmacists have a potential role in reporting, identifying, and preventing ADRs which leads to fast management and in turn results in reduced number of morbidity and mortality cases.
