Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are of great concern in clinical practice. Pharmacogenetics can identify individuals and groups at increased risk of developing ADRs, enabling treatment adjustments to improve outcomes. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of ADRs related to drugs with pharmacogenetic evidence level 1A in a public hospital in Southern Brazil. ADR information was collected from the pharmaceutical registries from 2017 to 2019. Drugs that have pharmacogenetic evidence level 1A were selected. Public genomic databases were used to estimate the genotypes/phenotypes frequency. During the period, 585 ADRs were spontaneously notified. Most were moderate (76.3%), whereas severe reactions accounted for 33.8%. Additionally, 109 ADRs caused by 41 drugs presented pharmacogenetic evidence level 1A, representing 18.6% of all notified reactions. Depending on the drug-gene pair, up to 35% of individuals from Southern Brazil could be at risk of developing ADRs. Relevant amount of ADRs were related to drugs with pharmacogenetic recommendations on drug labels and/or guidelines. Genetic information could guide and improve clinical outcomes, decreasing ADR incidence and reducing treatment costs.
