A two-year retrospective observational study of adverse drug reactions related to intravenous drug formulations
Keywords:
Adverse drug reactions, intravenous products, spontaneous report, NCC-PvPI, WHOUMC causality scaleAbstract
Introduction: Adverse drug reactions are the major obstacles to patient safety and drug therapy monitoring.
Objectives: The present article provides information on intravenous products induced adverse drug reactions collected by spontaneous reporting method through an established pharmacovigilance wing working under NCC-PVPI in an Adverse Drug reaction monitoring center-Nalgonda, Telangana.
Methods: A total number of 100 intravenous products induced ADRs were collected from different age groups by observational retrospective study for the year January 2018 to December 2019.
Results: The results showed that the most affected age group was 20-29 yrs (28 %). The major contribution of the gender that exposed to ADRs was female- 73 % Most intravenous product induced ADRs were reported from the Department of OBG (46 %). Drug: Ceftriaxone-induced ADRs were (38 %). The most frequently reported ADR was fever and chills (56 %). Out of 100 ADRs, one was certain, 90 were probable/likely, and the remaining 9 were possible as per the WHO-causality scale.
Conclusions: In the present work, most of the ADRs were because of intravenous antibiotics followed by anesthetic agents, antiepileptic drugs, ringer lactate, dextrose normal saline, and H2 blockers.
