World health organization defines Adverse Drug Reaction as: “Any response to a drug which is noxious, unintended and occurs at doses used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy.” Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 2Slide 3: From the earliest times, pharmaceutical formulations have been recognized as being potentially dangerous. Indeed it is a truism that unless a drug is capable of doing some harm it is unlikely to do much good. Public and professional concern about these matters first arose in the late 19 th century. In 1922, there was an enquiry into the JAUNDICE associated with the use of SALVARSAN , an organic arsenical used in the treatment of Syphillis. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 3Slide 4: In 1937 in the USA, 107 people died from taking an ELIXIR OF SULFANILAMIDE that contained the SOLVENT DIETHYLENE GLYCOL This led to the establishment of the FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA), which was given the task of enquiring into the safety of new drugs before allowing them to be marketed. Major modern catastrophe that changed professional and public opinion towards medicines was the THALIDOMIDE INCIDENT . Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 4Slide 5: In 1961, it was reported in West Germany that there was an outbreak of PHOCOMELIA ( hypoplastic and aplastic limb deformities ) in the new born babies. It was shown subsequently that thalidomide, a non barbiturate hypnotic, was to blame. The crucial period of pregnancy during which thalidomide is TERATOGENIC is the first three months. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 5Slide 6: The THALIDOMIDE INCIDENT led to a public outcry, to the institution all round the world of DRUG REGULATORY AUTHORITIES , to the development of a much more sophisticated approach to the preclinical testing and clinical evaluation of drugs before marketing, and to a greatly increased awareness of adverse effect of drugs and methods of detecting them . Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 6Incidence of adverse drug reactions: Incidence of adverse drug reactions Many different figures have been published on the incidence of adverse drug reactions. The following are the representing figures. HOSPITAL IN-PATIENTS :10-20% suffer an adverse drug reaction. DEATHS IN HOSPITAL IN-PATIENTS: 0.24-2.9% are due to adverse drug reactions. HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS: 0.3-5% of hospital admissions are due to adverse drug reactions. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 7Slide 8: Drug Year Adverse Reaction Outcome Sulfanilamide 1937 Liver damage due to diethylene glycol Solvent changed; FDA established Thalidomide 1961 Congenital Malformations Withdrawn Chloramphenicol 1966 Blood Dyscrasias Uses restricted Benoxaprofan 1982 Liver damage Withdrawn Aspirin 1986 Reye’s syndrome Uses restricted Flecainide 1989 Cardiac Arrhythmias Uses restricted Noscapine 1991 Gene toxicity Withdrawn Triazolam 1991 Psychiatric disorders Withdrawn Friday, October 07, 2011 8 DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN OR HAVE HAD THEIR USES RESTRICTED BECAUSE OF ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS:Slide 9: drug year Adverse reaction Outcome Temafloxacin 1992 Various serious adverse effects Withdrawn Co- trimoxazole 1995 Serious allergic reactions Uses restricted Terfenadine 1997 Interactions (e.g. with grapefruit juice) Withdrawn from OTC sale Sotalol 1997 Cardiac arrhythmias Uses restricted Astemizole 1998 Interactions Withdrawn Cisapride 2000 Cardiac arrhythmias Withdrawn Cerivastatin 2001 Rhabdomylosis Withdrawn Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 9 DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN OR HAVE HAD THEIR USES RESTRICTED BECAUSE OF ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS:CLASSIFICATION OF ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS: CLASSIFICATION OF ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS DOSE-RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS : PHARMACEUTICAL VARIATION PHARMACOKINETIC VARIATION Pharmacogenetic variation Hepatic disease Renal disease Cardiac disease Thyroid disease Drug interactions Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 10Slide 11: PHARMACODYNAMIC VARIATION Hepatic disease Altered fluid and electrolyte balance Drug interactions NON-DOSE RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS IMMUNOLOGICAL REACTIONS PSEUDO ALLERGIC REACTIONS PHARMACOGENETIC VARIATION Long-term adverse drug reactions ADAPTIVE CHANGES REBOUND PHENOMENA Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 11Slide 12: Delayed adverse drug reactions CARCINOGENESIS EFFECTS CONCERNED WITH REPRODUCTION Impaired infertility Teratogenesis Drugs in breast milk Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 12DOSE-RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS: DOSE-RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS Dose related adverse reactions have led to the concept of the THERAPEUTIC INDEX , or the TOXIC:THERAPEUTIC RATIO . This indicate the margin between the therapeutic dose and the toxic dose. The bigger the ratio, the better. Examples of drugs with a low TOXIC:THERPEUTIC RATIO : Anticoagulants (warfarin, heparin) Hypoglycemic drugs (insulin, sulfonylurea) Antiarrythmic drugs (lidocaine, amiodarone) Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 13Slide 14: Cardiac glycosides ( digoxin , digitoxin) Amino glycoside antibiotics (gentamicin, netilmicin) Oral contraceptives Cytotoxic and immunosuppressive drugs (cyclosporine, methotrexate, azathioprine) Antihypertensive drugs ( beta adrenoceptors antagonists, ACE inhibitors) Dose-related adverse reactions can occur because of variations in the Pharmaceutical, Pharmacokinetic, or Pharmacodynamic properties of a drug, often due to Pharmacogenetic characteristic of a patient. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 14PHARMACEUTICAL VARIATION: PHARMACEUTICAL VARIATION Adverse drug reactions occur because of alterations in the systemic availability of a formulation EXAMPLE: Phenytoin Intoxication , by a change in one of the excipients in the phenytoin capsules from calcium sulfate to lactose , which increase the systemic availability of phenytoin. Adverse reaction can occur because of the presence of a contaminant EXAMPLE: Pyrogens or even Bacteria in intravenous formulations. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 15Slide 16: Out of date formulations can sometimes cause adverse reactions, because of degradation products EXAMPLE: out-dated Tetracycline can cause Fanconi’s Syndrome . Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 16PHARMACOKINETIC VARIATION: PHARMACOKINETIC VARIATION There is much variation among normal individuals in the rate of elimination of drugs. This variation is most marked for drugs that are cleared by hepatic metabolism. It is determined by several factors, which may be GENETIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, or HEPATIC. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 17PHARMACOKINETIC GENETIC VARIATIONS:: PHARMACOKINETIC GENETIC VARIATIONS: Acetylation Oxidation Succinylcholine hydrolysis Acetylation: Acetylation shows genetic variability. There are Fast and Slow acetylators. Several drugs are acetylated by N- ACETYL TRANSFERASE . Fast Acetylation is autosomal dominant and Slow Acetylation is autosomal recessive. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 18Slide 19: Drugs whose Acetylation is genetically determined are: Isoniazid Hydralazine Procainamide Dapsone Some sulfonamides Increased incidence of PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY is observed in slow acetylators of Isoniazid Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 19Slide 20: Oxidation: Oxidation also shows genetic variability. There are individuals with impaired oxidation and with normal oxidation. Impaired oxidation ones are called as POOR METBOLIZERS and the ones with normal are called EXTENSIVE METABOLIZERS. Debrisoquine type: CYP2D6 is a cytochrome P450 enzyme and carries out Debrisoquine hydroxylation. Impaired hydroxylation of Debrisoquine is an AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE DEFECT of this cytochrome. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 20Slide 21: Drugs that are affected besides Debrisoquine are: Captopril Metoprolol Phenformin Perhexitine Nortryptine Poor hydroxilators are more likely to show dose related adverse effect of these drugs. In case of toxic metabolites risk would be greater in extensive hydroxilators. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 21Slide 22: Succinylcholine Hydrolysis: Succinylcholine is hydrolyzed by PSEUDOCHOLINESTRASE . In some individuals pseudocholinestrase is abnormal and does not metabolize succinylcholine rapidly. In such cases drug persist in blood and continue to produce neuro muscular blockade for several hours. This result in respiratory paralysis called SCOLINE APNOEA . There are three types of abnormalities of pseudocholinestrase each inherited in an AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE FASHION. Dibucaine resistant type Fluoride resistant type Silent gene type Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 22Slide 23: HEPATIC DISEASE Adverse drug reaction due to impaired hepatic metabolism are not so common. Hepatocellular dysfunction , as in several hepatitis or advanced cirrhosis, can reduce the clearance of drugs like phenytoin, theophylline and warfarin . A reduction in hepatic blood flow , as in heart failure, can reduce the hepatic clearance of drugs that have an high extraction ratio for e.g. propranolol , morphine and pethidine . Reduced production of plasma proteins (for e.g. albumin) by the liver in cirrhosis can lead to reduced protein binding of drugs. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 23Slide 24: RENAL DISEASE: If a drug or active metabolite is excreted by glomerular filtration or tubular secretion, it will accumulate in renal insufficiency and toxicity will occur. CARDIAC DISEASE: Cardiac failure, particularly congestive cardiac failure , can alter the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs by several mechanisms: Impaired absorption, due to intestinal mucosal edema and a poor splanchnic circulation, can alter the efficacy of some oral diuretic, such as FUROSEMIDE ; Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 24Slide 25: Hepatic congestion and reduced liver blood flow may impair the metabolism of some drugs (e.g. Lidocaine ). Poor renal perfusion may result in reduced renal elimination (e.g. Procainamide ). Reduction in the apparent volumes of distribution of some cardio active drugs, by mechanisms that are not understood cause reduced loading dose requirements (e.g. Procainamide , Lidocaine , Quinidine ) Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 25PHARMACODYNAMIC VARIATIONS: PHARMACODYNAMIC VARIATIONS HEPATIC DISEASE: Hepatic disease can alter pharmacodynamic responses to drugs in several ways; Reduced Blood Clotting: In cirrhosis and acute hepatitis, production of clotting factor is impaired and patients bleed more readily. Drugs that impair blood clotting, that impair homeostasis, or that predispose to bleeding by causing gastric ulceration should be avoided or used with care for e.g. Anticoagulants and NSAIDS . Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 26Slide 27: Hepatic Encephalopathy: In patients with, or on the border line of, hepatic encephalopathy, the brain is more sensitive to the effects of drugs with sedative actions. If such drugs are used, coma can result. It is therefore wise to avoid Opioids & other Narcotic Analgesics and Barbiturates . Sodium and Water Retention: In hepatic cirrhosis, sodium and water retention can be exacerbated by certain drugs. Drugs that should be avoided or used with care include NSAIDS , Corticosteroids , Carbamazepine and formulations containing large amount of sodium. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 27Slide 28: ALTERED FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE: The pharmacodynamic effects of some drugs are altered by changes in fluid and electrolyte balance. Example: The toxic effect of cardiac glycosides are potentiated by both Hypokalaemia and Hypercalcaemia . The Class1 of Antiarrhythmic drugs such as Quinidine , Procainamide and Disopyramide are more arrhythmogenic if there is hypokalaemia. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 28NON-DOSE RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS: NON-DOSE RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS Include IMMUNOLOGICAL and PHARMACOGENETIC mechanisms of adverse reactions. IMMUNOLOGICAL REACTIONS: (Drug Allergy) F eatures of allergic drug reactions: There is no relationship to the usual pharmacological effects of the drug; There is often a delay between the first exposure to the drug and the occurrence of the subsequent adverse reaction; There is no formal dose-response curve; The illness is often recognizable as a form of immunological reaction like rash, serum sickness, urticaria etc. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 29Slide 30: Factors involved in drug allergy concern the Drug and Patients: THE DRUG: Macromolecules such as PROTEINS ( vaccines and enzymes such as streptokinase), POLYPEPTIDES ( insulin and dextrans ) can themselves be immunogenic. THE PATIENTS: There are genetic factors that make some patients more likely to develop allergic reactions than others: A history of allergic disorders HLA status(antigens on human lymphocytes) Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 30Slide 31: DRUG ALLERGY: A MECHANISTIC APPROACH Classified acc. to the classification of hypersensitivity reactions, i.e. into four types, TYPES I-IV . Type 1 Reactions (anaphylaxis; immediate hypersensitivity) : The drug or metabolite interacts with IgE molecules fixed to cells, particularly tissue mast cells and basophiles leukocytes. This triggers a process that lead to the release of pharmacological mediators like histamine, 5-HT, kinins, and arachidonic acid derivatives, which cause allergic response. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 31Slide 32: Manifest as Urticaria, Rhinitis, Bronchial Asthma, Angio -oedema and Anaphylactic Shock . Drugs likely to cause type 1 are Penicillins , Streptomycin, Local Anaesthetics etc. Type 11 Reactions (Cytotoxic Reactions): A circulating antibody of the IgG, IgM, or IgA class interact with an antigen formed by hapten. Complement is then activated and cell lysis occurs. Example: Thrombocytopenia, Haemolytic Anaemia Quinidine or Quinine. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 32Slide 33: Type 111 Reactions (Immune Complex Reactions): Antibody (IgG) combines with antigen i.e. the hapten-protein complex in circulation Complex thus formed is deposited in the tissues, complement is activated, and damage to capillary endothelium results. Serum sickness is the typical drug reaction of this type. Penicillins , Sulfonamides & Antithyroid drugs may be responsible. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 33Slide 34: Type 1V reactions (Cell Mediated): T-lymphocytes are sensitized by a hapten-protein antigenic complex. Inflammatory response ensues when lymphocytes come in contact with the antigen. E.g. Dermatitis caused by local anesthetic creams, topical antibiotics and antifungal creams. Pseudo Allergic Reactions: Term applied to reactions that resemble allergic reactions clinically but for which no immunological basis can be found. Asthma and Skin Rashes caused by aspirin are the examples. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 34DRUG ALLERGY : A CLINICAL APPROACH: DRUG ALLERGY : A CLINICAL APPROACH Mechanistic approach does not fit in the clinical presentation so a clinical approach. Fever: Drug fever as an isolated phenomenon can occur with penicillin, phenytoin, hydralazine and quinidine. Rashes: Different types of rashes are shown in the table given. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 35Slide 36: Type of rash Description Examples of drugs causing it Erythema multiform Target like lesions on the extensor surface of the limbs. Penicillamine Penicillin Sulphonamides Erythema nodosum Tender red nodules, sometimes with bruising on the extensor surface of the limbs. Phenobarbitals Sulphonamides Oral contraceptives Exfoliative dermatitis Red, scaly, Exfoliative lesions sometimes involving extensive areas of skin Carbamazepine Gold salts Phenylbutazone Pemphigus Widespread blistering Penicillamine Rifampicin Urticaria Red raised lesions surrounded by oedema often confluent Codiene Dextrans Penicillin Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 36Slide 37: BLOOD DISORDERS: Thrombocytopenia, Neutropenia, Hemolytic Anaemia, and Aplastic Anaemia can all occur as adverse drug reactions. RESPIRATORY DISORDERS: Asthma occurring as a pseudo allergic reaction to Aspirin, other NSAIDS and Tartarzine is an e.g. adverse drug reaction. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 37 PHARMACOGENETIC VARIATION CAUSING NON DOSE-RELATED REACTIONS: PHARMACOGENETIC VARIATION CAUSING NON DOSE-RELATED REACTIONS Red cell enzyme defects Porphyria Malignant hyperthermia RED CELL ENZYME DEFECTS: Unusual drug reaction occur in individuals whose erythrocytes are deficient in any one of three different but functionally related enzymes. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase Glutathione reductase Methaemoglobin reductase Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 38FLOW CHART RELATING THREE DIFFERENT ENZYMES: FLOW CHART RELATING THREE DIFFERENT ENZYMES Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 39 Methaemoglobin reductase G6PD Glutathione reductase nadp nadp nadph nadph nad nadh Haemoglobin 6-phosphogluconate Glucose-6-phosphate Reduced glutathione Methaemoglobin Oxidized glutathioneSlide 40: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: G6PD deficient erythrocytes when exposed to oxidizing agents undergoes Haemolysis . The prevalence of this defect varies with race. There are two varieties of deficiency: Black variety Mediterranean variety Blacks have normal G6PD production but its degradation is accelerated. Mediterranean have abnormal G6PD production. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 40Slide 41: Glutathione reductase deficiency Deficiency is autosomal dominant. Deficiency of enzyme directly cause deficiency of reduced glutathione. Methaemoglobin reductase deficiency If Methaemoglobin is not reduced to Haemoglobin continously accumulation of Methaemoglobin takes place resulting in impairment of O 2 delivery to tissues, causin g HYPOXAEMIA . Inheritance of defect is autosomal recessive. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 41Slide 42: Porphyria : Porphyrias constitute a group of disorders of haem -biosynthesis. Different types of porphyrias are there: Acute intermittent porphyrias Variegate porphyria Porphyria cutanea tarda Erythropoietic Porphyria Each type of Porphyria is associated with a different abnormality of an enzyme in haem -biosynthetic pathway. Drugs to be avoided in porphyria : Barbiturates, Dapsone, Chloramphenicol, Diclofenac etc. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 42HAEM-BIOSYNTHETIC PAYTHWAY: HAEM-BIOSYNTHETIC PAYTHWAY Friday, October 07, 2011 43 Succinyl-CoA + Glycine ALA SYNTHASE δ - amino laevulinic acid(ALA) ALA DEHYDRASE Propho-bilinogen DEAMINASE Porphrins haem Cyto -chromes Enzymatic defect in porphyriasSlide 44: Malignant hyperthermia: It is an autosomal dominant generic disorder of skeletal muscles that occurs in susceptible individuals undergoing General Anesthesia with inhaled agents (halogenated) and muscle relaxants like Succinylcholine . This rare condition of uncontrolled release of calcium by sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscles leads to muscles spasm, hyperthermia and autonomic liability. Dantrolene is indicated in life threatening situations. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 44LONG TERM EFFECTS: LONG TERM EFFECTS ADAPTIVE CHANGES: Examples include development of tolerance to and physical dependence on the NARCOTIC ANALGESICS and the occurrence of TARDIVE DYSKINESIA in some patients receiving long term neuroleptic drug therapy for schizophrenia. REBOUND AND WITHDRAWAL PHENOMENA: During long term therapy sudden withdrawal of the drug can result in rebound reactions. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 45Slide 46: Examples : Typical Syndromes occurring after sudden withdrawal of narcotic analgesic or of alcohol (delirium tremens). Sudden withdrawal of Barbiturates result in restlessness , mental confusion and convulsions . Sudden withdrawal of β -adrenoceptors antagonists result in rebound tachycardia which can precipitate myocardial ischemia. Sudden withdrawal of corticosteroids results in syndrome of adrenal insufficiency . Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 46DELAYED EFFECTS: DELAYED EFFECTS CARCINOGENESIS: There are three major mechanisms of carcinogenesis: Hormonal: Incidence of VAGINAL ADENOCARCINOMA is increased in daughters of women who have taken STILBOESTROL during pregnancy for the treatment of threatened abortions. Increased risk of BREAST CANCERS is about 50% and woman taking HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (HRT) for more than five years. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 47Slide 48: Gene Toxicity: Occurs when certain molecules bind to nuclear DNA and produce changes in gene expressions. Examples: BLADDER CANCER in patient taking long term CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE Carcinomas of RENAL PELVIS associated with PHENACETIN abuse. Non lymphocytic LEUKEMIA in patients receiving ALKYLATING AGENTS such as melphalan , chlorambucil etc. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 48Slide 49: Suppression of immune responses: Patients taking immunosuppressive drugs such as AZATHIOPRINE with CORTICOSTEROIDS have increased risk of developing LYMPHOMAS . Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 49EFFECTS CONCERNED WITH REPRODUCTION:: EFFECTS CONCERNED WITH REPRODUCTION: Impaired Fertility Teratogenesis Impaired Fertility: Cytotoxic drugs can cause female infertility through ovarian failure with amenorrhea. Male fertility can be reduced by impairment of spermatozoal production or function and can be either reversible or irreversible: Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 50Slide 51: REVERSIBLE IMPAIRMENT can be caused by sulfasalazine, nitrofurantoin, MAO inhibitors and antimalarial drugs; IRREVERSIBLE IMPAIRMENT , due to azospermia, can be caused by cytotoxic drugs, such as alkylating agents cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 51Slide 52: Teratogenesis: Teratogenesis occurs when a drug taken during early stages of pregnancy causes a developmental abnormality in a fetus. Drugs can affect fetus at 3 stages: FERTILIZATION AND IMPLANTATION: Conception to 17 days Failure of pregnancy which often goes unnoticed. ORGANOGENESIS: 18 to 55 days of gestation Most vulnerable period, deformities are produced Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 52Slide 53: GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT: 55 days onwards development and functional abnormalities can occur ACE inhibitors can cause HYPOPLASIA of organs NSAIDs may induce PREMATURE CLOSURE OF DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS D ifferent teratogenic drugs are: Thalidomide, Methotrexate, Warfarin, Phenytoin, Phenobarbitone , Valproate Sod.,Lithium , etc. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 53Slide 54: References: D.G.GRAHAME-SMITH & J.K.ARONSON Oxford Textbook of Clinical Pharmacology & Drug Therapy ROGER AND WALKAR Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics D.R.

There are individuals with impaired oxidation and with normal oxidation. Impaired oxidation ones are called as POOR METBOLIZERS and the ones with normal are called EXTENSIVE METABOLIZERS. Debrisoquine type: CYP2D6 is a cytochrome P450 enzyme and carries out Debrisoquine hydroxylation. Impaired hydroxylation of Debrisoquine is an AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE DEFECT of this cytochrome. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 20Slide 21: Drugs that are affected besides Debrisoquine are: Captopril Metoprolol Phenformin Perhexitine Nortryptine Poor hydroxilators are more likely to show dose related adverse effect of these drugs. In case of toxic metabolites risk would be greater in extensive hydroxilators. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 21Slide 22: Succinylcholine Hydrolysis: Succinylcholine is hydrolyzed by PSEUDOCHOLINESTRASE . In some individuals pseudocholinestrase is abnormal and does not metabolize succinylcholine rapidly. In such cases drug persist in blood and continue to produce neuro muscular blockade for several hours. This result in respiratory paralysis called SCOLINE APNOEA . There are three types of abnormalities of pseudocholinestrase each inherited in an AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE FASHION. Dibucaine resistant type Fluoride resistant type Silent gene type Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 22Slide 23: HEPATIC DISEASE Adverse drug reaction due to impaired hepatic metabolism are not so common. Hepatocellular dysfunction , as in several hepatitis or advanced cirrhosis, can reduce the clearance of drugs like phenytoin, theophylline and warfarin . A reduction in hepatic blood flow , as in heart failure, can reduce the hepatic clearance of drugs that have an high extraction ratio for e.g. propranolol , morphine and pethidine . Reduced production of plasma proteins (for e.g. albumin) by the liver in cirrhosis can lead to reduced protein binding of drugs. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 23Slide 24: RENAL DISEASE: If a drug or active metabolite is excreted by glomerular filtration or tubular secretion, it will accumulate in renal insufficiency and toxicity will occur. CARDIAC DISEASE: Cardiac failure, particularly congestive cardiac failure , can alter the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs by several mechanisms: Impaired absorption, due to intestinal mucosal edema and a poor splanchnic circulation, can alter the efficacy of some oral diuretic, such as FUROSEMIDE ; Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 24Slide 25: Hepatic congestion and reduced liver blood flow may impair the metabolism of some drugs (e.g. Lidocaine ). Poor renal perfusion may result in reduced renal elimination (e.g. Procainamide ). Reduction in the apparent volumes of distribution of some cardio active drugs, by mechanisms that are not understood cause reduced loading dose requirements (e.g. Procainamide , Lidocaine , Quinidine ) Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 25PHARMACODYNAMIC VARIATIONS: PHARMACODYNAMIC VARIATIONS HEPATIC DISEASE: Hepatic disease can alter pharmacodynamic responses to drugs in several ways; Reduced Blood Clotting: In cirrhosis and acute hepatitis, production of clotting factor is impaired and patients bleed more readily. Drugs that impair blood clotting, that impair homeostasis, or that predispose to bleeding by causing gastric ulceration should be avoided or used with care for e.g. Anticoagulants and NSAIDS . Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 26Slide 27: Hepatic Encephalopathy: In patients with, or on the border line of, hepatic encephalopathy, the brain is more sensitive to the effects of drugs with sedative actions. If such drugs are used, coma can result. It is therefore wise to avoid Opioids & other Narcotic Analgesics and Barbiturates . Sodium and Water Retention: In hepatic cirrhosis, sodium and water retention can be exacerbated by certain drugs. Drugs that should be avoided or used with care include NSAIDS , Corticosteroids , Carbamazepine and formulations containing large amount of sodium. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 27Slide 28: ALTERED FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE: The pharmacodynamic effects of some drugs are altered by changes in fluid and electrolyte balance. Example: The toxic effect of cardiac glycosides are potentiated by both Hypokalaemia and Hypercalcaemia . The Class1 of Antiarrhythmic drugs such as Quinidine , Procainamide and Disopyramide are more arrhythmogenic if there is hypokalaemia. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 28NON-DOSE RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS: NON-DOSE RELATED ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS Include IMMUNOLOGICAL and PHARMACOGENETIC mechanisms of adverse reactions. IMMUNOLOGICAL REACTIONS: (Drug Allergy) F eatures of allergic drug reactions: There is no relationship to the usual pharmacological effects of the drug; There is often a delay between the first exposure to the drug and the occurrence of the subsequent adverse reaction; There is no formal dose-response curve; The illness is often recognizable as a form of immunological reaction like rash, serum sickness, urticaria etc. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 29Slide 30: Factors involved in drug allergy concern the Drug and Patients: THE DRUG: Macromolecules such as PROTEINS ( vaccines and enzymes such as streptokinase), POLYPEPTIDES ( insulin and dextrans ) can themselves be immunogenic. THE PATIENTS: There are genetic factors that make some patients more likely to develop allergic reactions than others: A history of allergic disorders HLA status(antigens on human lymphocytes) Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 30Slide 31: DRUG ALLERGY: A MECHANISTIC APPROACH Classified acc. to the classification of hypersensitivity reactions, i.e. into four types, TYPES I-IV . Type 1 Reactions (anaphylaxis; immediate hypersensitivity) : The drug or metabolite interacts with IgE molecules fixed to cells, particularly tissue mast cells and basophiles leukocytes. This triggers a process that lead to the release of pharmacological mediators like histamine, 5-HT, kinins, and arachidonic acid derivatives, which cause allergic response. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 31Slide 32: Manifest as Urticaria, Rhinitis, Bronchial Asthma, Angio -oedema and Anaphylactic Shock . Drugs likely to cause type 1 are Penicillins , Streptomycin, Local Anaesthetics etc. Type 11 Reactions (Cytotoxic Reactions): A circulating antibody of the IgG, IgM, or IgA class interact with an antigen formed by hapten. Complement is then activated and cell lysis occurs. Example: Thrombocytopenia, Haemolytic Anaemia Quinidine or Quinine. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 32Slide 33: Type 111 Reactions (Immune Complex Reactions): Antibody (IgG) combines with antigen i.e. the hapten-protein complex in circulation Complex thus formed is deposited in the tissues, complement is activated, and damage to capillary endothelium results. Serum sickness is the typical drug reaction of this type. Penicillins , Sulfonamides & Antithyroid drugs may be responsible. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 33Slide 34: Type 1V reactions (Cell Mediated): T-lymphocytes are sensitized by a hapten-protein antigenic complex. Inflammatory response ensues when lymphocytes come in contact with the antigen. E.g. Dermatitis caused by local anesthetic creams, topical antibiotics and antifungal creams. Pseudo Allergic Reactions: Term applied to reactions that resemble allergic reactions clinically but for which no immunological basis can be found. Asthma and Skin Rashes caused by aspirin are the examples. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 34DRUG ALLERGY : A CLINICAL APPROACH: DRUG ALLERGY : A CLINICAL APPROACH Mechanistic approach does not fit in the clinical presentation so a clinical approach. Fever: Drug fever as an isolated phenomenon can occur with penicillin, phenytoin, hydralazine and quinidine. Rashes: Different types of rashes are shown in the table given. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 35Slide 36: Type of rash Description Examples of drugs causing it Erythema multiform Target like lesions on the extensor surface of the limbs. Penicillamine Penicillin Sulphonamides Erythema nodosum Tender red nodules, sometimes with bruising on the extensor surface of the limbs. Phenobarbitals Sulphonamides Oral contraceptives Exfoliative dermatitis Red, scaly, Exfoliative lesions sometimes involving extensive areas of skin Carbamazepine Gold salts Phenylbutazone Pemphigus Widespread blistering Penicillamine Rifampicin Urticaria Red raised lesions surrounded by oedema often confluent Codiene Dextrans Penicillin Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 36Slide 37: BLOOD DISORDERS: Thrombocytopenia, Neutropenia, Hemolytic Anaemia, and Aplastic Anaemia can all occur as adverse drug reactions. RESPIRATORY DISORDERS: Asthma occurring as a pseudo allergic reaction to Aspirin, other NSAIDS and Tartarzine is an e.g. adverse drug reaction.

The prevalence of this defect varies with race. There are two varieties of deficiency: Black variety Mediterranean variety Blacks have normal G6PD production but its degradation is accelerated. Mediterranean have abnormal G6PD production. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 40Slide 41: Glutathione reductase deficiency Deficiency is autosomal dominant. Deficiency of enzyme directly cause deficiency of reduced glutathione. Methaemoglobin reductase deficiency If Methaemoglobin is not reduced to Haemoglobin continously accumulation of Methaemoglobin takes place resulting in impairment of O 2 delivery to tissues, causin g HYPOXAEMIA . Inheritance of defect is autosomal recessive. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 41Slide 42: Porphyria : Porphyrias constitute a group of disorders of haem -biosynthesis. Different types of porphyrias are there: Acute intermittent porphyrias Variegate porphyria Porphyria cutanea tarda Erythropoietic Porphyria Each type of Porphyria is associated with a different abnormality of an enzyme in haem -biosynthetic pathway. Drugs to be avoided in porphyria : Barbiturates, Dapsone, Chloramphenicol, Diclofenac etc. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 42HAEM-BIOSYNTHETIC PAYTHWAY: HAEM-BIOSYNTHETIC PAYTHWAY Friday, October 07, 2011 43 Succinyl-CoA + Glycine ALA SYNTHASE δ - amino laevulinic acid(ALA) ALA DEHYDRASE Propho-bilinogen DEAMINASE Porphrins haem Cyto -chromes Enzymatic defect in porphyriasSlide 44: Malignant hyperthermia: It is an autosomal dominant generic disorder of skeletal muscles that occurs in susceptible individuals undergoing General Anesthesia with inhaled agents (halogenated) and muscle relaxants like Succinylcholine . This rare condition of uncontrolled release of calcium by sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscles leads to muscles spasm, hyperthermia and autonomic liability. Dantrolene is indicated in life threatening situations.

REBOUND AND WITHDRAWAL PHENOMENA: During long term therapy sudden withdrawal of the drug can result in rebound reactions. Friday, October 07, 2011 syed arman rabbani 45Slide 46: Examples : Typical Syndromes occurring after sudden withdrawal of narcotic analgesic or of alcohol (delirium tremens). Sudden withdrawal of Barbiturates result in restlessness , mental confusion and convulsions . Sudden withdrawal of β -adrenoceptors antagonists result in rebound tachycardia which can precipitate myocardial ischemia. Sudden withdrawal of corticosteroids results in syndrome of adrenal insufficiency .
