上世纪60年代初期发生的震惊世界的“反应停”事件,使许多国家都意识到药物不良反应监测在临床用药中的重要性。随着大量高效、高选择性和治疗剂量范围窄的药物不断上市,且联合用药机会大大增加,使药物不良反应的发生率不断增加,这也使ADR日益引起人们的关注。开展药物不良反应工作的目的就是要通过药物监测提高广大医务人员对安全合理用药的重视,定期分析导致ADR发生的因素,尽量减少和避免药品不良反应的发生[2]。作为一所三甲医院,来我院就诊的患者人数众多,因此,明确开展ADR监测,对促进安全合理用药,减少药物不良反应造成的药源性疾病对人们身体健康的危害是非常必要的。本文对我院2012年1月1日-2012年12月31日上报的568例有效ADR报告表进行统计分析,探讨常见药物不良反应的一般规律及特点,为临床合理用药提供参考。 1资料与方法 1.1资料查阅我院于2012年1月1日-12月31日报告ADR共568例。 1.2方法采用回顾性调查法分别按患者年龄、药物剂型及给药途径、药物种类、ADR累及器官或系统以及临床表现进行统计分析。 2结果 2.1患者年龄与ADR发生的关系从年龄分布来看大于60岁老 人(180例,占31.69%)和小于14岁儿童(103例,占18.13%)是发 生不良反应的主要人群,两者共占发生ADR的一半(共283例);且 是发生严重或新的药物不良反应的重点人群(严重或新的ADR共10例,占71.43%)。见表1。 2.2给药途径与ADR发生的关系通过对不同给药途径的分析发现,引起ADR发生最多的为静脉给药(占72.89%),口服和其它给 药方式占较小的比例。其中静脉滴注给药有8例发生严重不良反应,2例新的一般不良反应;口服给药有3例发生严重不良反应,1例新的一般不良反应。见表2。 2.3药物种类与ADR发生的关系通过对药物所属类别进行分类统计得出,568例ADR报告中涉及多类别药物,ADR发生率最高的 药物为抗菌药物(排名前20位中占8个品种),其次为中药注射剂 和抗肿瘤药物及生物制剂。抗菌药物中青霉素和头孢菌素类不良 反应发生例数最多,占据前三位,分别是阿洛西林(30例)、头孢 呋辛(20例)、头孢他啶(19例)。见表3。 2.4ADR累及的器官或系统及临床表现对ADR累及的器官或系 药品不良反应知识 药物是人们与疾病作斗争的重要武器,它具有两重性,一方面是预防和治疗疾病的重要手段,另一方面它又可能引起一些不良反应,甚至导致另一些疾病。能够引起不良反应的药物专门多,按其来源分类,可包括植物药、动物药、矿物药、抗生素、生物制品、人工合成药、中成药等;假如按照药理作用分类,其几乎能够包括迄今为止临床应用中所有类不的药物。 药品不良反应可侵及人体的各个器官和系统,包括呼吸系统、循环系统、消化系统、血液系统、神经、精神系统等等,以及致突变、癌变和畸形等。 药品不良反应具有自限性特点,发觉早,处理及时,大部分患者都能够自行恢复。假如差不多出现了严峻反应甚至阻碍到人体的组织器官功能,除停药外,还应及时进行对症处理和治疗。 了解和学习有关药品不良反应的相关知识,加强医务人员和患者 在用药过程中的监控意识,是保证安全合理用药,提高医疗质量的重要环节。 一、药品不良反应差不多概念 (一)药品不良反应的定义 药品不良反应(Adverse Drug Reactions,简称ADR)要紧是指合格的药品在预防、诊断、治疗疾病的过程中,在正常用法、用量情况下出现的与用药目无关的有害反应。这些反应不同程度地损害着人体健康,甚至危及生命。 严格地讲,ADR要紧是指常规剂量下出现与治疗目的无关的有害反应;而广义的药品不良反应还应包括超剂量给药、意外给药、蓄意给药、药物治疗错误、药物滥用、药物相互作用引起的各种不良后果。据此,药品不良反应的判定必须具有以下三点: 第一、药品必须是合格的。所谓合格药品,指的是符合我国《药品治理法》和国家药品标准并经药品监督治理部门批准生产的药品。假药、劣药产生的不良后果不属于药品不良反应范畴。 第二、患者使用药品和医师指导用药必须符合药品讲明书的规定或没有违反药品的配伍禁忌以及用法用量。误用、滥用药物所造成的后果不属于药品不良反应。 第三、药品不良反应的发生与用药目的无关或出乎事先预料。 药品不良反应报告和监测管理制度 1 目的 建立药品不良反应报告和监测管理制度保证该项工作有序、按时、准确完成。 2 依据 《药品经营质量管理规》、《药品不良反应报告和监测管理办法》及公司相关制度。 3

5.2.2药品不良反应报告和监测,是指药品不良反应的发现、报告、评价和控制的过程。 5.2.3严重药品不良反应,是指因使用药品引起以下损害情形之一的反应:(1)导致死亡; 药物的不良反应及分类 摘要对现行药理学教材中药物不良反应的概念作对照分析,提出使用合适的药物不良反应概念及其分类方法。 关键词药物不良反应;分类 药物不良反应的概念在不同版本的书籍上几乎都是指”对防治疾病无益甚至有害的反应”,这个概念一直沿用了十几年,虽然WHO国际药物监测合作中心早已下了明确的定义,就是指”在预防、诊断、治疗疾病或调节生理机能过程中,人接受正常剂量的药物时出现的任何有害的和与用药目的无关的反应”。国家食品药品监督管理局对药物不良反应有严格定义及分类,根据1999年《药品不良反应监测管理办法(试行)》第五章附则第二十八条规定:药品不良反应主要是指合格药品在正常用法用量下出现的与用药目的无关的或意外的有害反应。 药物的分类方法也不统一,有的书籍上包括副作用、毒性作用、后遗效应、过敏反应、继发反应、特异质等;有的又根据1977年Rawlins和Thompson设计的ADRs分类法,即将其分为A、B两类反应。A类反应指因某种药物正常的药理作用过强而引起的反应,如普萘洛尔引起的心动过缓。这些反应可根据药物的药理学特性预知,通常呈剂量依赖型。此类反应较常见,发病率较高但死亡率较低。B类反应指与药物正常药理作用无关的、新的或异常的不良反应,如青霉素引起的过敏反应,通常不可预知,也不常见,发病率较低但死亡率相对较高。也有的分为与药理作用相关类如副反应、与机体反应相关类如过敏反应、与连续用药相关类如耐受性。各种教学用书及参考资料上对不良反应究竟包括哪些,几乎没有一致的。 药物不良反应的概念应该使用我国《药品不良反应监测管理办法(试行)》第五章附则第二十八条规定的概念。这个概念和我们教材上的概念的主要区别是强调了正常剂量和正常用法。也就是说,这种定义排除了意外的过量用药或用药不当所导致的不良反应。如用错药物及剂量、滥用药物、自杀性过量服药等不包括在内。如果药物不良反应的概念做了调整,那么药物不良反应的类型或分类也应该做调整。毒性作用、后遗效应、继发反应、首剂效应、撤药反应、依赖性应该归到副反应里。过敏反应和特异质就属于意外的有害反应。从上述WHO和我国药品监督部门对药物不良反应的定义来看药物的不良反应:①强调不符合用药目的;②强调反应对机体的损害程度。轻的就是不符和用药目的,重的就是意外的有害反应或有害反应。实际上不良反应也肯定有轻有重。如果非要用副反应和毒性反应作为药物不良反应的一种,那么副反应和毒性反应就应该只是程度上的区别,这种区分有多大意义值得商榷。药物不量反应包括的内容很广泛,有的有交叉,对于初学者很难区分。使用糖皮质激素引起的肾上腺皮质功能低下是属于后遗效应呢,还是属于继发反应摸棱两可。后遗效应可能比较短暂,如服用巴比妥类催眠药后次晨的宿醉现象;也可能比较持久,如长期应用肾上腺皮质激素,一旦停药后肾 药品不良反应 篇一:药品不良反应概述 药品不良反应概述 第一节药品不良反应定义 广义的药品不良反应是指用药引起的任何不良情况。其中包括超剂量用药、意外给药、蓄意用药、药物滥用、药物相互作用所引起的不良后果。 WHO对药物不良反应的定义:在预防、诊断、治疗目的无关的反应。该定义排除了有意的或意外的过量用药或用药不当。 国家药品不良反应监测中心的定义:在正常用法用量情况下出现的与用药目的无关的或意外的有害反应。包括副作用、毒性作用、后遗效应、继发反应、过敏反应、特异性遗传素质等。与WHO对药品不良反应的定义一样,排除了有意的或意外的过量误用、药物滥用(包括吸毒)、不按规定方法使用药品等情况引起的责任性或刑事性事件。这种设定是为了便于监测报告制度的建立和工作的开展。 研究药物不良反应将有利于促进合理用药。临床合理用药必须掌握的两个要点即有效性和安全性。前者是指对症选药,即使所选药物的作用符合于治病的要求,后者是指避免或减少药物不良反应和药源性疾病的发生。 第二节药品不良反应分类 一药品不良反应按发病机制分类 不良反应的分类,揭示了药物与机体间的相互关系,使人们关注引起同类反应的共同因素和表现形式,从而采取相应的共同的措施进行治疗和预防。传统的分类方法通常把药物不良反应分为A型、B 型和C型三大类。这种简单明了的分类从1977年廷至今天,但因为粗略,不能准确地把各种不良反应的成因机制归于某类,因此就出现了目前新的、内容更丰富、定义更准确的分类方法,即A、B、C、D、E、F、G、H、U共九类。新的分类方法保留了A类,对B类则重新进行了定义和划分。 A型反应:又称为剂量相在的不良反应。它是药物常规药理作用的廷伸和发展,反应程度与药物在体内浓度高低密切相关,因此本型反应是可以预测的,在人群中发生率高,死亡率低。毒副作用是本型反应主要内容,其它还有过度反应、首剂反应、撤药反应、继发反应、药物依赖性等。 B型反应:又称质变异常性不良反应,它是一种与药物常规药理作用无关的异常反应,常规毒理筛选不能发现,难预测,发生率低而死亡率高。B型不良反应又可分为药物异常性和病人异常性两种,如特异性遗传素质反应,药物变态反应。 C型反应:一般在长期用药后出现,难以预测。其特点是:背景发生率高、非特异性、没有明确的时间关系、潜伏期长、不可重现。 有些药物反应难以用A型或B型反应来分类,如由于药物作用诱发的人体免疫功能低下而引起的患病率增加,药物引起三致作用、二 在一种新药或药品的新用途的临床试验中,其治疗剂量尚未确定时,所有有害而非所期望的、与药品应用有因果关系的反应,也应视为药品不良反应。 在药理学中,指某种药物导致的躯体及心理副反应、毒性反应、变态反应等非治疗所需的反应。可以是预期的毒副反应,也可以是无法预期的过敏性或特异性反应。在物质使用中,包括用药所致的不愉快的心理及躯体反应。 按正常用法、用量应用药物预防、诊断或治疗疾病过程中,发生与治疗目的无关的有害反应。其特定的发生条件是按正常剂量与正常用法用药,在内容上排除了因药物滥用、超量误用、不按规定方法使用药品及质量问题等情况所引起的反应。 定义凡用药后产生与用药目的不相符的并给病人带来不适或痛苦的反应统称为不良反应(adverse reaction)。药物的不良反应包括副作用(side effects)、毒性反应(toxic reaction)、变态反应(allergic reaction)、后遗效应(after effect)、继发效应(secondary effect)、特异质反应(idiosyncratic reaction)及三致(致癌carcinogenesis、致畸teratogenesis、致突变mutagenesis)作用。一般是可预知的,但有的是不可避免的,有的则是难以恢复的。 药物的后遗反应 指停药后的生物效应,例如服用巴比妥类药物,次日的宿醉现象,停药后可消失。氨基糖苷类抗生素引起耳蜗神经损害很难恢复,可成为永久性耳聋。过敏反应药物刺激机体而发生的不正常的免疫反应。药物在体内与高分子载体蛋白结合形成抗原,刺激机体产生抗体,药物再次进入机体发生抗原抗体反应导致过敏反应性疾病。 特异质反应少数人用药之后,会发生于药理作用无关的反应。多数是由于个体生化机制异常,比如缺乏某种药物代谢酶所形成依赖性喉,断药后体内不能维持正常生理机能,出现戒断综合征,有时很严重,可发生惊厥,甚至死亡。 药物的致畸作用 在妊娠期内,特别是头三个月胎儿器官形成期,此时某些药物可作用于胎儿而形成先天畸形。 药物的致癌作用 具有致癌作用的药物称致癌因子,不少化学药品属于此类物质。 药物的致突变作用 遗传因子DNA的构成发生突然变异和染色体异常,可引起此变异的因子称变异原。短时间内变异原通过机体内因起作用,发生显著的生物学变异,如畸胎或肿瘤的生成。 药物不良反应常见原因分析 药品是一种特殊商品,在防病治病、保障人民身体健康中起着至关重要的作用,市场经济条件下,受急功近利的物欲刺激影响,使临床合理用药,合理治疗的传统医德受到打击和挑战,临床治疗中的不合理用药,引发了众多的医源性不良反应,甚或引起医疗差错事故,现药品是一种特殊商品,在防病治病、保障人民身体健康中起着至关重要的作用,市场经济条件下,受急功近利的物欲刺激影响,使临床“合理用药,合理治疗”的传统医德受到打击和挑战,临床治疗中的不合理用药,引发了众多的医源性不良反应,甚或引起医疗差错事故,现将药物不良反应常见原因分析如下。 1.超量应用 某些药物其治疗量与中毒量非常接近,临床应用,有严格的规定,尤其是儿童,要严格按照公斤体重核算药物用量,稍有超量,就会出现严重的毒副作用,造成无可挽回的后果,如辽宁省某市中心医院,1997年7月在治疗急性肠炎患儿时,静脉点滴磷霉素钠,药物剂量超过正常量3倍,输液过程中,患儿出现腹痛,抽搐,最后因呼吸、循环衰竭死亡;另有报道,某个体诊所业主,无证行医,在为一婴儿治病时,超剂量用药,两种药品用量超出正常用量的10倍以上,导致患儿死亡,构成一级医疗事故。 2.药品质量不纯 药品质量不纯与其不良反应的发生关系密切。据李燮彬报道,青霉素精制品皮试阴性肌注后不良反应的发生率为0.20%,而一般正常品发生率为0.43%,统计学处理,差异有非常显着性,(P<0.01)。另外,抗生素制剂中有大量的微细结晶、聚合物或降解物,输液中的微粒异物可导致静脉炎,在输液装置上加“终端滤器”,可防止或减少静脉炎的发生;另据赵誉华报道,在21例静脉点滴丹参注射液出现的输液反应当中,送检9例,结果热原反应阳性者5例(占55%),并将同批号丹参注射液5盒(50支),按药典要求用3只家兔进行测定,结果初测和复测均显示热原阳性。 3.过敏反应 随着医药卫生事业的发展,越来越多的医药品种用于临床,引起过敏反应的药物种类逐渐增多。唐静怡等统计了一组病例,药典未规定需先行做过敏试验的药物中,有52种药物导致了过敏反应猝死;有些药物试验阴性而用药过程中出现反应;部分药品在常规做过敏试验时,即可发生过敏性休克,更需注意的是,某些抗过敏药物本身也能引起过敏反应。 4.给药方法不当 临床用药,有严格规定,违规操作,会增加副作用。据郑玲等报道,某心衰患者,护士未严格执行医嘱,将应该静脉点滴的维生素C7g未稀释直接静脉输入,5min后,患者局部剧烈疼痛,静脉沿线明显红肿、压痛,经硫酸镁湿敷了3d后红肿始退,但血管仍呈条索状硬化。 5.违反操作常规 医疗工作人命关天,须严肃认真,一丝不苟,每个环节的敷衍了事,马马虎虎,都会造成严重后果。据窦氏报道,某患儿行唇裂修补术,术前护士将吗啡误为阿托品而注射,造成中毒,幸抢救及时而获救;另一8个月的支气管炎患儿,医生处方氨茶碱20mg,每日3次口服,药房人员误将10mg1片的氨茶碱拿成100mg1片,且分装2袋,也未向患儿家属交待清楚,结果每次服每袋中2片,实际每次服用400mg,较原量大20倍,造成严重中毒;临床护理中,违反操作规程,同样会酿成恶果,唐静怡等曾报道了2例猝死病人,均系未严格执行“三查七对”制度,将药物用错病人所造成。 6.忽视某些药物排泄特点 某些药物,能通过乳汁排泄,忽视此等特点,会殃及乳儿。据窦氏报道,2例冬眠灵中毒的患儿皆系其母服用冬眠灵所致;另据潘月清报道,一足月顺产正常男婴的妇女,产后3个月内因放置节育环出现“子宫功能性出血”而服妇康片,每次4片,每日3次,连服1个月后,使本来毛发乌黑、发育正常的乳儿造成内分泌紊乱,从而出现毛发白色、皮肤干燥、不出汗、烦躁哭闹、食欲不振、睡眠等一系列类似西蒙综合症和早老症的现象。 7.忽视药物副作用 药品不良反应工作总结 2017年我院不断加大措施、健全组织、完善制度、强化督导,促进了药品不良反应监测工作的顺利开展,取得了一些成绩,为做好药品不良反应监测工作作出了积极努力,现总结如下: 一、加强领导明确任务 为了加强对我院药品不良反应监测报告工作顺利的开展,经我院院务会决定成立药品不良反应监测工作领导小组,小组由院长张广海担任组长,小组办公室设在本院,以此负责全院药品不良反应监测工作的组织、协调、督报工作。我院的药品不良反应监测工作,在领导小组的领导下,在年初就联合召开了会议,进行安排部署,将目标任务层层分解,切实做好药品不良反应监测数据的分析评价以及药品不良反应的宣传培训和信息的收集、上报工作,推动监测报告工作广泛、深入、扎实的展开。 二、健全组织,完善制度。 我院根据上级部门对药品不良反应的工作部署和领导要求,为确保我院药品不良反应监测工作的健康顺利开展,通过不断加强组织建设、制度建设和人员培训等三项措施,促进了全院监测工作正常运转,具体如下: 一是建立健全药品不良反应监测报告的体制和工作机制,成立药品不良反应监测领导小组,建立药品不良反应监测点;明确我院药品不良反应监测联络员,具体负责本院与上级不良反应检测中心的联系沟通工作,实行实时督报制度,各科室在规定日期集中报送监测信息,杜绝漏报、瞒报、不报现象。 二是建立药品不良反应监测信息员库,各信息员要做到反馈灵敏、报告及时,形成层层有人管、层层有人抓的良好 局面,使我院药品不良反应报告及监测工作再上新台阶。 三是加强培训,我院派负责药品不良反应监测信息收集工作的同志多次参加了市药监局组织的药品不良反应监测培训会议,同时又多次组织我院工作人员在全院大会上学习药不良反应的法律法规和相关知识,明确了开展药品不良反应报告和监测工作是医务工作者义不容辞的责任,通过这些有效措施,提高了他们的认识,丰富了专业知识,增强了对做好监测工作的使命感和责任心。 截止2017年12月,我院共上报不良反应检测病例3例,3例都是药品不良反应,完成了2017年的任务,同时,对各个监测点的信息上报情况进行了认真核,未发生一起漏报、瞒报、迟报现象,上报率达100%,做到了准确、科学、及时,而且不断提高了监测报告的质量和水平。 三、但还存在一定的问题: 1、对事件报告的“关联性”评价不够规范,可能和不可能等关联性评价混淆不清。 2、医学术语匮乏,在事件报告的描述中不会运用相关的医学术语去描述临床症状。 3、责任心不强。在事件报告表中,有些厂家的药品商品名和通用名是相同的,或者在商品名称的填写处填写成通用名 四、对药品不良反应工作中存在的问题,改进措施如下: 1、加强培训科室医务人员对药品不良反应事件监测的概 念,能准确定义不良反应事件,防止漏报。 2、对于科室隐瞒不报的药品不良反应事件,加大处罚力度,避免造成不良后果,一旦发生药品不良反应,须引起科 药品不良反应监测及报告制度 一、医院成立药品不良反应工作小组,由主管院长任组长,办公室设在药学部临床药学室。临床药学室负责全院药品不良反应的报告和监测管理。各科室指定一名不良反应监测员具体负责药品不良反应报告。药品不良反应工作小组的任务是组织、指导医院药品不良反应监测工作,对疑难、复杂的不良反应病例进行讨论复审,并向省ADR 监测中心报告。 二、从事药品不良反应报告和监测的工作人员应当具有医学、药学、流行病学或者统计学等相关专业知识,具备科学分析评价药品不良反应的能力。 三、药品不良反应报告和监测是药品不良反应的发现、报告、评价和控制的过程。无论是单一用药还是多药联用,均应遵循“可疑就报”的原则,对难以确定因果关系的,只要不能完全排除药品不良反应,均应作为药品不良反应或药品不良事件上报。 四、各临床科室药品不良反应监测员负责本科室药品不良反应信息收集,发生不良反应及时报告临床药学室并填写药品不良反应报告表,报送至临床药学室,并由临床药学室通过医院内网定期反馈给相关科室或全院,临床药学室通过国家药品不良反应监测信息网络报告,并填写纸质报表报县药品不良反应监测中心。 五、不良反应报告内容应当真实、完整、准确。 六、在医疗过程中,如发现药品不良反应病例,特别是严重、罕见或新的药品不良反应,医护人员应积极组织救治,最大限度保证病 人生命安全和身体健康,保存好相关药品留样,详细记录、分析,填写《药品不良反应/事件报告表》,同时向医务部门和药学部门报告。医师应将患者发生的药品不良反应如实记入病历中。 七、医务部门和药学部门应迅速组织有关专家对药物不良反应进行确认,根据不良反应的严重程度、后果及时处理,并按照有关规定进行上报。 八、若患者或家属对药品不良反应提出异议时,由临床医务人员和病人家属共同负责将药品封存后并保存于冰箱内,如患者及其家属对所用药品提出要检验,24小时内由医务部会同患者或家属前往市药品监督管理局备案。 九、获知或者发现药品群体不良事件后,应当立即通过电话或者传真等方式报所在地的县级药品监督管理部门、卫生行政部门和药品不良反应监测机构,必要时可以越级报告;同时填写《药品群体不良事件基本信息表》,对每一病例还应当及时填写《药品不良反应/事件报告表》,通过国家药品不良反应监测信息网络报告。 十、发现药品群体不良事件后应当积极救治患者,迅速开展临床调查,分析事件发生的原因,必要时可采取暂停药品的使用等紧急措施。 十一、药品不良反应报告和监测的工作人员应当对收集到的药品不良反应报告和监测资料进行分析和评价,并采取有效措施减少和防止药品不良反应的重复发生。 十二、加强药品不良反应监测和再评价工作,重点对化学药品注 关于发布《常见严重药品不良反应技术规范及评价标准》 的通知 各省级药品不良反应监测中心: 《常见严重药品不良反应技术规范及评价标准》业经2010年度全国药品不良反应监测中心主任工作会审议通过,现印发给你们,该标准可作为药品不良反应监测工作中的技术参考,请认真学习,努力提高药品不良反应监测工作的科学性、规范性。 特此通知 二0一0年二月二十日 过敏性休克药品不良反应判定评价标准 过敏性休克是外界某些抗原性物质进入机体后,主要通过免疫机制在短时间内发生的强烈全身变态反应综合征,由于抗体与抗原结合使机体释放一些生物活性物质如组胺、缓激肽、5-羟色胺和血小板激活因子等,导致全身毛细血管扩张和通透性增加,心排血量急剧下降,血压下降达休克水平。过敏性休克的表现与程度,依机体免疫反应强度、用药途径等的不同而存在很大差别。通常突然发生且很剧烈,若不及时处理,常可危及生命。

从时间相关性、药理作用/同类药物反应、去激发、再激发、剂量等方面对不良事件与药品之间关系进行评定。同时考虑的其他因素:原患疾病、相互作用、伴随药物、伴发疾病。时间相关性:用药前、用药过程中或延迟发生不良反应的可能。 2.2.4.3 药理作用/同类药物反应:不良事件发生时间是否与药理/毒理反应一致,同类药物的不良反应。 去激发:停药观察,去激发是否为阳性 再激发:去激发后再次给药观察,再激发是否为阳性。 给药剂量:规定给药剂量与实际给药剂量是否一致。 原患疾病:分析不良事件是否为原患疾病的症状,或治疗适应症的自然进程。 药物相互作用:协同作用、拮抗作用、配伍禁忌。 伴随药物/伴发疾病:是否导致不良事件的发生。 其他因素:是否存在其他风险因素,如吸烟史、饮酒史、过敏史、家族病史及不良反应病史等。 药品不良反应培训内容: 简介ADR(Adverse Drug Reaction)在按规定剂量正常应用药品的过程中产生的有害而非所期望的、与药品应用有因果关系的反应。在一种新药或药品的新用途的临床试验中,其治疗剂量尚未确定时,所有有害而非所期望的、与药品应用有因果关系的反应,也应视为药品不良反应。 根据《》第二十九条,本办法下列用语的含义是:药品不良反应是指合格药品在正常用法用量下出现的与用药目的无关的或意外的有害反应。 药品的不良反应 1、对人体有害的副作用。如阿托品被用于解除胃肠痉挛而引起口干等。 2、毒性反应。如引起失眠、耳鸣、贫血、肝功能损害等。 3、过敏反应。 4、其他不良反应。如、致畸、致突变、致癌等。 药品的不良反应分类 型不良反应 是由于药品的药理作用增强所致。特点是可以预测,与常规的药理作用有关,反应的发生与剂量有关,停药或减量后症状很快减轻或消失,发生率高(>1%),死亡率低。主要表现包括过度作用,医学教`育网搜集整理副作用、毒性反应、首剂效应、继发反应、停药综合症、后遗效应。 型不良反应 是与药品的正常药理作用完全无关的一种异常反应。特点是一般很难预测,常规毒理学筛选不能发现,发生率低(<1%=,死亡率高。进一步分类为遗传药理学不良反应和变态反应。 型不良反应 有些不良反应难以简单地归于A型或B型,有学者提出为C型不良反应。C型不良反应的特点是发生率高,用药史复杂或不全,非特异性(指药品),没有明确的时间关系,潜伏期较长。有些发生机制尚在探讨中。 构成的四个前提: 1、必须是合格药品。 2、必须在正常用法用量下出现。 3、必须与用药目的无关的或意外的反应。 4、必须是有害的反应。 表现及分类: 作用于机体,除了发挥治疗的功效外,有时还会由于种种原因而产生某些与 药品不良反应报告和监测检查资料清单 1.基本信息 1.1生产企业联系人联系方式(电话、电子邮箱、传真、通信地址、邮编等)。 1.2药品注册信息:生产企业药品注册情况列表,包括注册时间、上市时间、是否新药监测期品种、说明书变更、撤市、暂停、召回等情况等。 1.3 药品不良反应监测工作概况:描述药品不良反应监测工作如何有效开展,如工作流程、各部门之间协调管理(包括与全球或总部相关部门的协调)、人员安排等。 2.组织机构 2.1组织结构图:包括附属公司及机构情况,其中药品不良反应监测部门应该包括工作人员姓名和职务。 2.2
