OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics and the prevention of traditional Chinese medicine-induced death. METHODS: The traditional Chinese medicine-induced death cases from 1994 to 2006 collected by retrieving full-text data base of CHKD were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Of the total traditional Chinese medicine-induced death cases, drugs were chiefly administered by intravenous drip and oral administration, and allergic shock was the chief death causes. CONCLUSION: Clinicians and pharmacists should attach great importance on the ADRs induced by traditional Chinese medicines to ensure safe and effective drug use.
