Preliminary findings from stimulated spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions during COVID-19 pandemic: an experience from Ghana

A study with a larger sample size with well-defined denominator in future studies is paramount in determining the relative risk of these medications in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients.FUNDING: None declared.PMID:33976443 | PMC:PMC8087363 | DOI:10.4314/gmj.v54i4s.10
