Results: A total 47 patients were admitted to the hospitals for exogenous intoxication, 81%, of these patients, had at least one ADR as the cause of hospital admission, with a total of a single drug reaction. The mean age of patients who experienced ADRs was about 42.31 years, among patients with ADRs, 39% were female, (47.13years), and male (39.17years). None of the women were pregnant.  Conclusions: We found that the patients took between 1 and 6 medicatins and the reason for hospitalization of these patients in the countryside of the Brazil was the ADRs incidence.
