This document discusses adverse drug reactions (ADRs), including their definition, frequency, impact on public health, classification, management, and prevention. Some key points:
- ADRs are the 4th-6th leading cause of death among hospitalized patients in the US.
- They are classified based on factors like onset (acute, subacute, latent), type (augmented, bizarre, continuous), and severity (minor to lethal).
- Common causes of ADRs include dosage errors, allergies, drug interactions, and failure to follow dosing regimens. Patient risk factors include age, sex, genetics, and concurrent diseases or medications.
- Prevention strategies include proper dosing, screening
Drugs can have both beneficial and harmful effects. While drugs save lives and improve health, they can also threaten life. It is important to consider whether the potential benefits of a medication outweigh the risks for a given individual. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a common clinical problem that can have serious consequences for patients, including death. Anyone taking medication can experience an ADR, but some groups are at higher risk, such as the elderly, those taking multiple drugs, and those with multiple medical conditions. Proper diagnosis and management of ADRs is important to prevent further harm.

DRUG INTERACTIONS (MECHANISMS OF DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS)N Anusha
A Drug interaction is an interaction between a drug and some other substance, such as another drug or a certain type of food, which leads to interaction that could manifest as an increase or decrease in the effectiveness or an adverse reaction or a totally new side effect that is not seen with either drug alone that can be severe enough to alter the clinical outcome.
Every time a drug is administered with any other prescription medicine, OTC products, herbs or even food we expose ourselves to the risk of a potentially dangerous interaction.
Adverse drug reactions are unwanted effects that occur when taking medications. They can range from mild to severe or life-threatening. Monitoring adverse drug reactions involves identifying suspected reactions, assessing the causality between the drug and reaction, documenting the details of the case, and reporting serious reactions to regulatory authorities. Serious adverse reactions must be reported within 14 days, while investigators report them to sponsors and ethics committees within 24 hours and 7 days respectively to ensure patient safety.

A 40-year-old man presented with skin lesions after taking moxifloxacin for a respiratory infection. He had taken ciprofloxacin previously with no reaction, suggesting he was not allergic to fluoroquinolones. His symptoms subsided after stopping moxifloxacin, and he was diagnosed with moxifloxacin-induced phototoxicity. An adverse drug reaction (ADR) is any harmful, unintended change in the body due to a medication. ADRs can range from mild to severe or lethal. They are caused by various patient, drug, and prescriber factors and can affect multiple organ systems. Types of ADRs include predictable dose-dependent reactions, unpredictable all
This document defines adverse drug reactions and discusses their types, causes, manifestations, and prevention. It provides classifications of ADRs including Type A predictable reactions related to the drug's pharmacological effects and Type B unpredictable reactions like allergies. The document outlines various organ-specific ADRs and roles of pharmacists in monitoring ADRs. It emphasizes the importance of pharmacovigilance in detecting, understanding, and preventing adverse drug effects.
This document defines adverse drug reactions and discusses their epidemiology and risk factors. It states that adverse drug reactions are any unintended and harmful responses to a medication. It notes that 4% of hospital admissions, 1 in 1000 deaths in medical wards, and 10-20% of inpatients experience adverse drug reactions. Risk factors include simultaneous use of multiple drugs, advanced age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, hereditary factors, and disease states. Common culprit medications are anti-coagulants, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, antihypertensives, antibiotics, diuretics and insulin.

Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

4. Adverse drug reactions
• Any noxious change which is suspected to be due
to a drug, occurs at doses normally used in man,
requires treatment or decrease in dose or
indicates caution for in future use of the same
drug.
Adverse drug event –
• Any untoward medical occurrence that may
present during treatment with medicine , but
which may not have causal relationship with the
treatment.
5. STATISTICS
Fourth to sixth causes of death in hospitalized
patients in the US
3–7% of all hospitalizations
10–20% of inpatients suffer from drug-
related adverse reactions
Only 1 in 20 adverse reactions is actually
detected and defined as a real side effect;
this leads to the erroneous assumption that
the incidence of adverse reactions is much
lower than it actually
6. COMMON CAUSES OF ADRS

16. ADVERSE DRUG EFFECTS MAY BE CATEGORISED INTO
1. Side Effects - Undesirable effects at
therapeutic doses. e.g
a)Atropine → Pre-anesthetic medication →
(undesirable ) dry mouth
b) Codeine → Suppresses Cough
(desirable)→ Constipation (undesirable)
Making Use of side effects -
• Minoxidil → Antihypertensive → Hypertrichosis
→ Male pattern baldness
• Codeine → used in travelers diarrhea
17. 2.Secondary Effects- Indirect consequence of
primary action of drugExamples -
a)Corticosteroids → ↓Immunity → Latent T.B.
activated
b)Tetracyclines → ↓Bacterial flora → Super-infection.
3. Toxic Effects-Exaggerated form of side effects due to
over dosage/prolonged use. Examples -
a)High dose heparin → Bleeding
b)Prolonged use of streptomycin →Ototoxicity,
nephrotoxicity
19. • Type I - Anaphylactic reactions due toIgE
antibodies, min→2-3 hours. Examples - urticaria,
angioedema , anaphylactic shock
• Type II - Cytolytic reactions due to antigen antibody
complex , within 72 hours. Examples - hemolytic
anemia , SLE.
• Type III – Retarded or Arthus reaction- Immune
complex mediated reactions, 72 hours→1-2
weeks. Examples - serum sickness (fever,
arthralgia, lymphadenopathy),PAN , Steven
Johnson syndrome , procainamide induced
systemic lupus erythematosis.
• Type IV - Delayed hypersensitivity reaction. Examples -
Contact dermatitis
20. 5. Idiosyncrasy - Genetically determined abnormal
reactivity to a chemical. Here drug interacts with some
unique features of individuals , not found in majority of
subjects, produces uncharacteristic reaction
Examples - Barbiturates → excitement and mental
confusion in some patients. Chloramphenicol → Aplastic
anemia in some patients.
6. Drug Intolerance -
- Characteristic toxic effects at therapeutic dose
- Converse of tolerance
- ↑ sensitivity to low doses
Examples - Single dose triflupromazine → muscular
dystonia
21. 7. Photosensitivity - Cutaneous reactions → sensitized skin→
UV radiation.
– Two types:
a) Phototoxicity-Drug/ metabolite accumulates in skin
→ absorbs light → photochemical and
photobiological reaction → local tissue damage i.e.
erythema, edema, blistering, hyperpigmentation.
e.g. Tetracyclines
b) Photoallergy - Drug/metabolite → cell mediated
immune response → UV light → papular or
eczematous contact dermatitis like picture. e.g.
Sulfonamides, Griseofulvin
22. 8. Drug withdrawal reactions -
• Sudden interruption of drug → worsens clinical condition
for which previously drug was used.
• Examples -
a) Corticosteroids → acute adrenal insufficiency
b) Beta Blockers → worsening of angina , precipitates
myocardial infarction
23. 9. Teratogenicity
1)Fertilization &
implantation
(blastocyst
formation)
Conception to 17
days - failure of
pregnancy -
Cytotoxic drugs ,
alcohol .
2) Organogenesis
- 18-55 days of
gestation - most
vulnerable period
- deformities are
produced –
teratogens.
3) Growth and
development -
Developmental &
functional
abnormality
ACE inhibitors -
Hypoplasia of organs
NSAIDS- Premature
closure of ductus
arteriosus
Drug → pregnant mother → fetal abnormalities
1. Thalidomide → Phocomelia.
2. Diethylstilbesterol → Vaginal adenocarcinoma.
3. Valproic acid → Neural tube defects.
24. 10. Carcinogenicity and Mutagenicity (Type c)
Carcinogenicity - Oxidation → reactive
metabolites → structural gene damage
e.g. Anticancer drugs , estrogens
Mutagenicity: Structural changes in DNA
Oxidation of the drugs produces reactive
metabolites Covalent interaction with DNA
e.g Anti cancer drugs, radioisotopes
25. 11. Iatrogenic (Physician induced diseases)- Examples -
a) NSAID'S → Peptic ulcers
b) Hydralazine → DLE
c) Phenothiazines → Parkinsonism
d) INH → Hepatitis
12. Drug Dependence- Use of drug produces a state in which
person believes that continuous use is necessary for state of
well being or to avoid withdrawal symptoms
– Psychic dependence Here person believes that state of wellbeing
achieved only with action of drugs. Opioids , Benzodiazepines
– Physical dependence Here repeated administration of drug required
to maintain physiological equilibrium. Discontinuation → withdrawal
Alcohol , Barbiturates , Benzodiazepines
26. PREVENTION OF ADR
1. Avoid all inappropriate use of drugs.
2. Use of appropriate dose, route & frequency of drug
administration.
3. Elicit & take into consideration previous history of
drug reactions.
4. Elicit h/o allergic diseases & exercise caution.
5. Rule out possibility of drug interaction.
6. Adopt correct drug administration technique.
7. Carry out appropriate laboratory investigation.
8. Be aware of interactions with certain foods,
alcohol and even with household chemicals.
27. MANAGEMENT OF ADR
• Discontinue the offending agent if -
It can be safely stopped
The event is life-threatening or intolerable
There is a reasonable alternative
Continuing the medication will further exacerbate
the patient’s condition
• Continue the medication (modified as needed) if-
It is medically necessary
There is no reasonable alternative
The problem is mild and will resolve with time
28. Discontinue non-essential medications
Administer appropriate treatment -
• e.g., atropine, protamine sulfate ,digibind
antibodies, flumazenil.
Provide supportive or palliative care -
• e.g., hydration, glucocorticoids, warm / cold
compresses, analgesics or antipruritics
Consider re-challenge or desensitization
29. MANAGEMENT OF POISONING
A. Maintain vital & physiological functions from
impairment
B. Termination of exposure (decontamination)
C. Prevention of absorption of ingested
poison.(activated charcoal)
D. Hastening elimination
1. Urinary alkanlization
2. Multidose activated charcoal
3. Extracorporeal drug removal
E. Antidote therapy
