Abstract:
Iatrogenic diseases, also referred to as drug-induced diseases (DIDs), represent a recognized yet inadequately investigated phenomenon that may result in enduring afflictions, hospital admissions, pharmacological interventions, protracted pharmaceutical reliance, and health complications. In the contemporary era of personalized medicine, it is imperative for prescribers to remain abreast of the dynamic advancements in the field of toxicology. Iatrogenic disorders may manifest as a result of medical interventions, including diagnostic procedures, therapeutic interventions, or preventative measures. Key factors to be taken into consideration encompass the patient's chronological age, dietary patterns, genetic predisposition, pre-existing medical conditions, diminished host response mechanisms, and pharmacological tolerance. Teratogenicity pertains to the prevalence of congenital anomalies and disorders resulting from exposure to teratogenic agents, environmental influences, and pharmacological interventions. The primary objective of this review is to provide individuals with comprehensive knowledge regarding the potential risks associated with iatrogenic diseases, thereby facilitating the prevention of unforeseen adverse outcomes.
