Package inserts for antihypertensive drugs: use by the patients and impact on adverse drug reactions.

Abstract:

:In Belgium, all dispensed drugs are provided with package inserts. Traditional physician-orientated inserts are gradually being replaced by patient package inserts (PPIs). The present survey is focused on the use of inserts for antihypertensive drugs and their impact on the reported occurrence and attribution of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). A group of 28 general practitioners (GPs) from the Flemish part of Belgium collected data from 702 hypertensive patients. Each participating GP submitted a consecutive sample of his patients to an interview in the Spring 1989, when 25% of the antihypertensive specialties carried a PPI-version. 1049 prescriptions for antihypertensive drugs had been dispensed. Two thirds of the patients, mostly those with a higher educational level, had read the package inserts. PPIs accounted for 16% of the inserts, and they had not been read significantly more than the traditional inserts. Reporting by the patients of possible drug-related health problems (spontaneously + after having heard the items on a check-list) was not affected by reading the insert or by the type of insert. However, the PPI did bring about spontaneous reporting, especially by patients with a low educational level. Attribution of at least one health problem to the medication was not affected by reading in itself but by the type of insert. Attribution was higher when the patient had received a PPI, except in the case of highly educated patients. Spontaneous reporting and attribution of health problems to the medications prescribed was found more frequently among patients with higher education, who did not seem to need a PPI to recognize problems as being drug-related.

  • Are systemic levels of non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs relevant to acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage?
