\nOn August 28, 2025 – The College of Pharmacy at DMU announces the successful thesis defense of Ms. Alaa Abdulla Ibrahim Ockba, MPharm (Clinical Pharmacy) candidate. Her thesis, titled "Evaluation of Linezolid-Induced Hematological Adverse Reactions: A Retrospective Study," investigated the occurrence and clinical implications of hematological toxicities associated with linezolid therapy. The study provides important insights into patient safety and underscores the critical role of clinical pharmacists in monitoring and managing adverse drug reactions.
