摘要:Pharmacovigilance is one of the responsibilities of the clinical pharmacist and the implementation of the trigger identification method is a way to avoid risks to the patient's health and some unnecessary costs to the system. In this sense, this study aims to analyze the efficiency of pharmacovigilance through the "trigger tool" method implemented in a private hospital in the city of Cascavel, Paraná - Brazil, and the main adverse drug reactions that occurred. The methodology adopted was to carry out a retrospective cross-sectional study, with data collection through manual reports and also generated by the Tazy program. At the end of the study, 39 ADR were identified, in which the population studied was classified as adults with a mean age of 50.7 years, with a predominance of females. The main trigger identified was Metronidazole (16), followed by Promethazine (13) and Hydrocortisone (10). It was concluded that the use of trackers proved to be useful for investigation, notification and registration in patients' medical records, making it accessible for consultations and possible subsequent hospitalizations, although it does not allow the identification of the cause of ADR due to the high complexity of the pharmacotherapy of the studied patients.
