Adverse reactions to radiopharmaceuticals are still not reported worldwide. However, the type of reaction may be severe and cause death. A review of the literature was performed using some criteria of a systematic review established by the Cochrane Collaboration. The results showed that there are a large number of adverse reactions to radiopharmaceuticals. Nuclear medicine staff must be aware of the possibility of adverse reaction with radiopharmaceuticals and find time to share this information with the radiopharmacist and the national pharmacovigilance system.
