Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs’ adverse drug reactions: 10 years of national database data

Abstract

The group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has occupied one of the leading positions in terms of demand by the population over the past decade. This fact is explained by non-prescription sale, a wide range of purposes and an affordable price range. The lack of proper control over the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) greatly complicates the assessment of safety, timely detection and prevention of events associated with patient’ safety. Target. Evaluation of data from the national pharmacovigilance database of the safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Materials and methods. This is a cross-sectional study covering the period from 2010 till 2020. The assessment of the safety profile of international non-proprietary names (INN) from the group of NSAIDs at the post-registration stage was carried out according to the data of uploading the national database (Automated Information System of Roszdravnadzor; AIS RZN), as well as PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Elibrary databases. Conclusions. Over a ten-year period, the number of registered spontaneous messages was 8,334. With regard to the three international generic names, the number of adverse drug reactions prevails - this is metamizole (1875 (22.5 %)), acetylsalicylic acid (1716 (20.6 %)), diclofenac (979 (11.7 %)). The main system organ class with safety-related events are described for skin and subcutaneous structures. This fact is not consistent with the data of reference sources of information, which indicates the ineffectiveness of post-marketing observations by marketing authorization holders.
