Abstract
The Drug iatrogenesis corresponds to the pathology or any clinical manifestation undesirable for the patient induced by the administration of one or more medicines. Several studies have estimated that adverse drug reactions account for between 0.5% and 2% of outpatient consultations and are involved in 4% to 10% of hospital admissions Thus, we will present definitions essential to the understanding of drug-induced iatrogenesis before synthesizing the different epidemiological data available in this field.
