Drug Side Effects and Adverse Drug Reactions

Side Effects:
Side effects refer to reactions to a drug that are frequently experienced and expected. Some side effects may gradually subside. But some side effects may persist that may require the adjustment of drug dosage (dose reduction) or drug frequency. Consult your doctor or pharmacist first.
If the medicine makes you drowsy, do not drive or operate machinery or dangerous equipment.

Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR):
Adverse Drug Reaction refers to any unexpected or noxious reaction to a drug. An unwanted effect caused by the administration of a normal dose of drug. The onset of the adverse reaction may be sudden or develop over time.

There are few factors that may affect your body reactions towards certain drugs include:
  • Age-eg. Elderly and pediatrics tends to experience more adverse drug reactions.
  • Genetics-Genetic factors may cause abnormal pharmacokinetic. (eg drug metabolism).
  • Medical conditions-Various diseases, especially those that cause kidney or liver insufficiency, may alter pharmacokinetic of a drug.
  • Organ functions-Impaired organ functions may alter pharmacokinetic of a drug.
  • Body weight.
  • Synergistic effects either between a drug and a disease or two/more drugs (polypharmacy).
The adverse drug reaction can either be mild or even serious when the patient outcome is one of these:
  • Hospitalization (initial or prolonged)
  • Disability - significant, persistent, or permanent change, impairment, damage or disruption in the patient's body function/structure, physical activities or quality of life.
  • Congenital Anomaly
  • Requires Intervention to Prevent Permanent Impairment or Damage
  • Life-Threatening
  • Death
Many countries have official bodies that monitor drug safety and reactions. Internationally, 
  • the WHO runs the Uppsala Monitoring Centre, 
  • the European Union runs the European Medicines Agency (EMEA),
  • the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for monitoring post-marketing studies.
Tips on safety medication:
  • Find out the name of your medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further information about the medicine that you are taking. You must understand carefully on what your medication is for and how to administer your medication.
  • Keep with you at all times a list of medicines  including health supplements and complementary medicines that you are taking. Share a copy of the medication list with a family member so that in an emergency, that person will be able to inform your doctors of your medications.
  • Keep all your doctors and pharmacist informed about your medications and dietary supplements (including vitamins and herbals).
  • Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to any medicine.
  • Read the medicine label carefully. Pay special attention to the warnings and precautions. 
  • Take the medicine as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist. 
  • Do not share your medications with others.
  • If adverse drug event occurs, see your doctor immediately. Bring the medication and medication list for adverse drug event verification and reporting.

Drug labels

It is vital to follow the doctor's or the pharmacist's instruction when taking medication. Refer to the instructions on the medicine label. When in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Labels for the medicine's immediate containers, blisters, outer cartons (if any) or dispensing labels should follow each country's medicine labeling requirements or guidance. Refer to each country specific labeling requirements.

In Malaysia, normally, these should be present on the medicine's outer carton (if any):
  • Product Name
  • Dosage Form
  • Name of active ingredient(s)
  • Strength of active ingredient(s)
  • Batch No
  • Expiration Date
  • Route of Administration
  • Storage Condition
  • Country's Registration No
  • Name and Address of Marketing Authorization (Product Licence) Holder
  • Name and Address of Manufacturer
  • Warnings (if applicable)
  • Pack Sizes
  • Name and Content of Preservative(s) (if any)
  • Name and Content of Alcohol (if any)
  • Source of ingredient derived from animal origin , including gelatin (active, excipient and/or capsule shell)
  • Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamins, multivitamins and mineral preparations used as dietary supplements.
  • The words `Keep medicine out of reach of children'
  • Other country specific labeling requirements (if applicable). Examples are the word `Controlled Medicine' for controlled medicine only, the word `For External Use Only' for external use medicine and hologram tag.
 Meanwhile, the dispensing labels shall contain:
  • Name and Address of the supplier/seller (clinic or pharmacy)
  • The patient's name
  • Date of medicine supplied/sold
  • Reference no (especially for the prescription drugs entry)
  • Full name of the medicine (Not just the drug's usage!!)
  • Strength of the medicine
  • Adequate directions for the use of the medicine.
  • The word `Controlled Medicine' for the controlled medicine only.

Drug dosage, Frequency and Duration of Treatment

Drug Dosage

The maximum effect of the drug treatment is important. However practically the maximum effect is usually unattainable because at the maximum therapeutic doses, unwanted side effects from the drug could occur. Therefore, the dosage of the drug recommended is usually a compromise of what is the best level of therapeutic effect and free from any side effects. 

The dosage of drugs prescribed varies according to the individual it has been intended for (such as infants, children, adults and elderly). Additionally, different people may react differently to the same drug. Therefore, DO NOT give your drug to others or take other person's medication even if you experience similar symptoms. If you are pregnant, breast feeding, or suffering from any illness such as liver, kidney or heart failure, you must consult your doctor first before taking any medication.

Drug Frequencies

For some drugs, the timing of their doses depends on how long their effects last. The frequencies may differ as follows:
  • Once daily (od)-The drug is best to be administered 24 hourly.
  • Twice daily (bd)-The drug is best to be administered 12 hourly.
  • Three times daily (tds)-The drug is best to be administered 8 hourly.
  • Four times daily (qid)-The drug is best to be administered 6 hourly.
  • Five times daily-The drug is best to be administered 4 hourly but omitting the night dose.
Drugs are also best taken at the same time each day. However, not all medications need to be taken at evenly spaced doses.

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?
A: Missing a dose may cause a reduction of the drug amount in your body and hence reduce their effects. A pill reminder box or medication chart may be helpful in reminding you to consume the medication. If you miss a dose, consult your doctor or pharmacist. However, if you frequently miss the drug doses you should discuss it with your doctor.

Duration of the treatment

The duration of treatment that the doctor prescribes should be strictly followed unless you develop an allergic reaction to the medication, in which case you should consult your doctor first. If you are not sure or do not know about why you should continue taking the drug as prescribed, ask your doctor. 

Stopping the treatment unnecessarily without your doctor's advice may cause a recurrence or aggravation of the illness. For example, if the doctor prescribes a drug to be taken three times daily for 7 days, most people tend to stop taking the drug when they start to feel better or the symptoms disappear, for example after 3 days. In the case of antibiotics, stopping abruptly and prematurely will provide the opportunity for microorganisms to survive. Eventually, the microorganisms will develop resistance to the drug. 

You should visit your doctor for follow ups, periodic medical check-ups or drug monitoring if you are on long term drug treatments. 
Drug dosage adjustments or drug substitution may be required for some patients.

Dosage Forms and Drug Administration

Drugs are available in many different forms including tablets, capsules, soft gels, liquids (eg. solutions, drops, syrups, suspensions, lotions), sprays, inhalations (eg inhalers), powders, ointments, creams, suppositories, pessaries, transdermal patches, implants and injections.

There are also many ways the drug can be injected including intravenous injection, intravenous infusion, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection and others.

Additionally, not all the tablets are to be swallowed whole because they come in different forms.
 There are few types of tablets. Some are:
  • Sublingual tablets. The tablets must be put under the tongue. They must not be swallowed. The drug will be dissolved and then absorbed into your blood stream via the blood vessels under the tongue.
  • Buccal tablets. The tablets are put in between your cheek and teeth. They also must not be swallowed. The drug is absorbed into your blood stream via your blood vessels under your cheek.
  • Effervescent tablets. The tablet must be dissolved into a glass of water before use. They are used to give a faster effects.
  • Chewable tablets. The tablets need to be chewed to be effective and to give faster effects.
  • Enteric coated tablets. The examples are sugar coated or film coated tablet. They must be swallowed whole with water and cannot be chewed. Active ingredients are released only after the drug has passed through the stomach. Usually they contain drugs that are easily destroyed by the stomach acid.
  • Slow release tablets or controlled release tablets. The tablets are designed so that the active ingredients are released slowly over a prolonged period of time. They must be swallowed whole with water and cannot be chewed or crushed.
It is advisable to take your capsules or tablets in an upright position and take them with water.

Absorption of certain oral drugs may be affected by food therefore they need to be taken on an empty stomach (usually 1 hour before meal or 2 hours after meal).

However, some oral drugs should be taken after meal. If the drugs are taken on empty stomach or before meal, they can be rendered ineffective by gastric juices, or they may affect the lining of the stomach if taken before meal.


Alcohol and certain foods should not be taken simultaneously with certain drugs. Separate the intake at least 2 hours before or after taking the medication. If in doubt , consult your pharmacist.

Drugs or Medicines

Ever since the dawn of medical practice, drugs have been obtained from many natural sources including plants, animals and minerals. Now, however, tremendous advances in science and technology have resulted in the development of an immense range of new drugs and new formulation. These drugs are manufactured synthetically using a variety of chemicals or by newer techniques.

A drug is a chemical substance used to treat, cure, prevent, or diagnose disease, alleviate  symptoms or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being.  A drug can also be used to correct deficiencies.

 There are 3 types of drug names:
  1. Chemical name-technical, descriptive name
  2. Generic name-a shorter, official medical name for the basic active ingredient.
  3. Brand name-a name given by the drug's manufacturer.
Drug classification:
Drugs are classified according to:
  • Chemical similarity-such as corticosteroids
  • Their therapeutic use-such as antidiarrhoeals
  • Their effects on the body-such as diuretics
Dispensing of medication is often regulated by governments into 3 categories:
  1. Over-the-counter (OTC) medication-medications that you can buy without restrictions in pharmacies, shops or supermarkets/hypermarkets.
  2. Behind-the-counter (BTC) or Pharmacy (P) medicines which can only be sold in registered pharmacies by pharmacist or under the supervision of a pharmacist. This medicine can be sold without needing a doctor's prescription. The range of medicines available without prescription varies from country to country.
  3. Prescription only medicines (POM) must be prescribed by a registered medical professional.
BTC/P or POM medicines are categorized as Controlled Medicines.

Medications are typically produced by pharmaceutical companies and are often patented to give the developer exclusive rights to produce them. Generic drugs are the drugs that are not patented (or with expired patents) and they can be produced by other companies without restrictions or licenses from the patent holder.

Interactions with Grapefruit..

Name: Grapefruit
Scientific Name: Citrus Paradisi
Family: Rutaceae
Internal Pulp colour: White, red or pink. The pink and red types are high in beta carotene.
Drug Interations:
Grapefruit causes serious interactions with many commonly prescribed medications.
Grapefruit contains the flavanone naringin alongside the two furanocoumarins bergamottin and dhydroxybergamottin , which inhibit the cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme in the intestinal wall, thus preventing the pre-systemic "first-pass" oxidative metabolism for a wide variety of drugs. When the action of this enzyme is inhibited, the drugs' bio-availabilities increase, more of the drugs may be absorbed and hence increasing the drug effects. Increased drug effects may then lead to side effects or adverse  reactions or toxicity.. . 
Whether you will experience a drug interaction depends on  few factors, including individual genetics, the type of medication, the dosage and the amount of grapefruit consumed. Please consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Heath and wealth

World Health Day

World Health Day is celebrated yearly on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO). The 1st World Health Assembly was held by WHO in 1948. The Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. 

Purpose:
The World Health Day is celebrated to create “awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization (WHO)”. 

Activities: related to the particular theme.

Some of the previous themes:
  • 2010: Be part of a global movement to make cities healthier
  • 2009: Save lives,Make Hospitals Safe in Emergencies
  • 2008: Protecting health from the adverse effects of climate change
  • 2007: International health security
  • 2006: Working together for health
  • 2005: Make every mother and child count
  • 2004: Road safety
  • 2003: Shape the Future of Life: Healthy Environments for Children
  • 2002: Move for Health
  • 2001: Mental Health: Stop Exclusion, Dare to Care
  • 2000: Safe Blood Start with Me
  • 1999: Active Aging Makes the Difference
  • 1998: Safe Motherhood
  • 1997: Emerging Infectious Diseases
  • 1996: Healthy Cities for Better Life
  • 1995: Global Polio Eradication
With the theme "Be part of a global movement to make cities healthier", World Health Day 2010 focused on urbanization and health. With the campaign "1000 cities - 1000 lives", events were organized worldwide calling on cities to open up streets for health activities. Stories of urban health champions were gathered to illustrate what people are doing to improve health in their cities.
Now, more people are living in urban settings than in rural areas.Cities concentrate people, opportunities and services however also concentrate risks and hazards for health. 

On World Health Day 2010, WHO calls on a wide range of groups, from municipal authorities and the private sectors, to concerned citizens, non-governmental organizations and advocates for healthy living. Doctors and pharmacists must also play important roles in promoting health and participating in wellness campaigns for the growing urban populations.

Pharmaceutical Heist

This week's breaking news on pharmaceutical:
 
"14th March 2010, Sunday, an estimated USD 75 million worth of Pharmaceutical drugs have been stolen from Eli Lilly warehouse in Enfield, Connecticut which is believed one of the largest pharmaceutical heist ever. The stolen products included Prozac, Cymbalta and Zyprexa."
 
Pharmaceutical heists keep increasing in USA since 2006. The heists involved cargo stolen from trucks or cargo containers are most common. There were also incidents of company's warehouse thefts. Pharmaceutical heist causes a big monetary loss due to the high drug prices.

As reported, usually what happened during the previous pharmaceutical heists, the stolen drugs were shipped/transported often for sale on the black market and/or for counterfeiting purposes. This situation is becoming a big threat to the world's pharmaceuticals, health care system and patients' health.
 
Few measures need to be considered/done to prevent this from becoming an increasing trend in this world. All parties need to work together hand in hand to prevent this from happening and putting patient's life at stake. Enforcement need to be tightened. Better securities and Risk Management need to be implemented especially by all Pharmaceutical companies in the world.
