The Adverse Drug Reaction
Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is a broad term referring to unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a drug may have.
Side effect is an imprecise term often used to refer to a drug's unintended effects that occur within the therapeutic range.
All drugs have the potential for ADRs.

Type A reactions are pharmacological effects that are predictable and dose-dependent and consist of side effects and drug interactions.
Type B reactions are hypersensitivity reactions that are unpredictable and not dose-dependent, usually occurring at normally tolerated doses.
Etiology of ADR

Drug hypersensitivity (or DRESS) is an immune-mediated reaction to a drug.
Also called drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS).

Etiology
Defect in the way the liver metabolizes

Co-infection with the human herpes virus 6
(HHV6)
Genetic predisposition to

Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms and signs vary from mild to severe depending on the patient and drug
Start up to 12 weeks after initiation of drug treatment and can occur after a dose increase.
Symptoms may persist or recur for several weeks after stopping drug treatment.

Signs and Symptoms
Prominent eosinophilia Hepatitis Exanthema
Facial swelling Generalized edema
Lymphadenopathy

Sometimes direct and indirect antiglobulin assays
For hematologic drug reactions
Sometimes drug provocation testingDrug is given in escalating doses
to precipitate the reaction Is usually safe and effective
Patient's report of a reaction soon after taking a drug
Time of onset Effects of a drug, and results of a repeat drug challenge
Diagnosis

Drug discontinuation• stopping the implicated drug• most symptoms & signs clear in a few days
Supportive treatment• antihistamines• corticosteroids• epinephrine
Sometimes desensitization• if sensitivity established• if treatment is essential and no alternative• reduces sensitivity only temporarily
Treatment

Avoiding the drug
Carry identificatio
n or an alert
bracelet.
Charts should be marked.
Prevention

Hypersensitivity decreases with time.
The mortality from drug hypersensitivity syndrome is estimated at around 8%.
Prognosis
