Abstract
As a healthcare profession, dentists have a role in ensuring the safety of prescribed medicines by reporting adverse drug reactions using the Yellow Card Scheme. This article briefly describes a case where metronidazole, an antibiotic commonly prescribed by dentists, may have caused ototoxicity and explores the evidence around this. It also highlights the method for reporting such effects.Entities:
