A Review of Pharmacovigilance

Issue: 
DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2013.251
Pages: 
771–4
Synopsis: 
Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is an essential component of pharmacovigilance, but the safe and appropriate use of drugs is limited by under-reporting of ADRs. Knowledge of pharmacovigilance could form the basis for interventions aimed at improving reporting rates.

ABSTRACT

Pharmacovigilance supports safe and appropriate use of drugs. Spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is an essential component of pharmacovigilance. However, there is significant underreporting of ADRs. Adverse drug reactions have become a major problem in developing countries. Knowledge of pharmacovigilance could form the basis for interventions aimed at improving reporting rates and decreasing ADRs.

Adverse Reaction of Topical Etofenamate: Petechial Eruption

Issue: 
DOI: 
Doi:10.7727/wimj.2011.029
Pages: 
767–9

Etofenamate is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Clinical findings caused by etofenamate
are uncommon. Allergic contact dermatitis is the most common cutaneous reaction reported. But
petechial eruption due to etofenamate had not been reported yet. This report concerns an 11-year old
male with petechial eruption after application of topical etofenamate.
Physicians need to be aware that patients can develop an asymptomatic purpuric eruption when
etofenamate is ordered.
