School of Marilia, São Paulo, Brazil; Flow Citometry, and; Dermatology, Medical School of Marilia, Marilia, Brazil. Background: The prevalence of hypersensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is high and its in vitro diagnostic is a challenge. The basophil activation test with determination by flow cytometry (FC), of the expression rate of CD63 molecules has been much studie...

Poster background Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is a structural analog of carbamazepine (CBZ). OXC is considered a promising alternative medication for patients who cannot tolerate CBZ because of its equivalent clinical effiecacy and fewer cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) compared to CBZ. HLAB*15:02 allele was shown to strongly associate with carbamazepine (CBZ)-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (...

OBJECTIVE To identify, classify and quantify the frequency of negative clinical adverse drug reactions (ADR) resulting in hospital admission from the emergency department (ED). To determine ADR preventability, identify ADR-related admission factors, calculate related costs and recognise which drugs are the most often involved. METHOD Cross-sectional, prospective and observational study of pat...

A dentist's ability to safely administer regional anesthesia is essential for dental practice. Local anesthetic solutions used in the United States for dental anesthesia are formulated with several components. The contents of a standard local anesthetic cartridge may include an amide or ester local anesthetic drug, an adrenergic vasoconstrictor, and an antioxidant. In susceptible patients, any ...

Several drugs may have a number of adverse reactions (ADRs) involving the oro-facial region. The dose of the drug and the time required for the reaction to take place are relevant parameters; nonetheless, ADRs mechanisms are not always known and ADRs are not always predictable since aspects other than drug pharmacodynamics and/or pharmacokinetics, as well as various interacting variables contri...

Here we describe how Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) can play an important role in pharmaceutical research and drug development. Not only do ADRs represent the risks and drawbacks associated with drugs but they can also be related to other knowledge available in pharmaceutical and medical research. We offer a model that can be used to systematically map the pathways through which ADRs can lead to...

An enormous number of drugs are introduced to the market every year and practically it is not feasible to avoid potential drug interactions. These drug interactions can lead to altered systemic exposure, resulting in disparities in drug response of the other co-administered drugs. Additionally, associated ingestion of dietary supplements, citrus fruit/juice could also change systemic exposure o...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the foremost public health problems, curable disease if diagnosed and treated properly with antituberculosis drugs. In addition to disease related complications there are serious adverse drug reactions due to Anti-tuberculosis therapy. The present study was carried out to monitor, document and reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) in Tuberculosis patients who ar...
