Naranjo

The Naranjo scale is a tool used by healthcare professionals to determine how likely it is that a specific medication caused an adverse reaction. It involves a series of questions about the timing, symptoms, and other factors related to the reaction. Based on the answers, points are assigned, which help categorize the probability as definite, probable, possible, or doubtful. This systematic approach helps clinicians assess side effects objectively, guiding better treatment decisions and improving patient safety.
