What Wikipedia says

An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an unintended medical event, which can potentially be associated with taking a medication. It can be disadvantageous or beneficial for the patient. ADRs may occur following a single dose or prolonged administration of a drug or may result from the combination of two or more drugs.
