Final answer:

Pharmacologic reactions, Hypersensitivity reactions, Idiosyncratic reactions, Drug interactions, and Toxic reactions are examples of adverse drug reactions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pharmacologic reactions, Hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions, Idiosyncratic reactions, Drug interactions, and Toxic reactions are examples of adverse drug reactions.

Hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions occur when a person's immune system overreacts to a drug, causing symptoms such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing.

Idiosyncratic reactions are unpredictable and rare reactions to a drug that are not related to the drug's normal pharmacological effects.

Drug interactions occur when two or more drugs interact with each other and can result in increased or decreased drug effects.

Toxic reactions occur when a drug is taken in excessive amounts or when it is toxic to certain individuals.
