OBJECTIVE:To investigate the occurrence of ADR induced by over-the-counter(OTC)drug in order to guide the rational use of drugs. METHODS:45 cases of ADR induced by OTC drug were analyzed retrospectively in terms of patient's gen-eral information,allergic history,allergenic drugs,reason for drug use,route of administration,incubation period,days of hospi-talization,clinical manifestation,treatment,outcome,etc. RESULTS:Among 45 patients,there were 14 male and 31 female. The patients were mainly 20-30 year-old(31.1%). Three patients had previous history of allergy(6.7%). Most ADR were induced by oral drugs(82.2%). Reasons for drug use were mainly disease of respiratory system(23 cases,51.1%). The results of causality as-sessment were positive in 3 patients(6.7%),probable in 35(n=77.8%),and possible in 7 patients(15.6%). ADR were mainly induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs,57.8%),Chinese patent medicine (20.0%),drugs for external use (17.8%). The clinical manifestations mainly included exanthematous drug eruption (33.3%),erythama multiforme drug eruption (24.4%),urticarial drug eruption(13.3%). CONCLUSIONS:NSAIDs are the main allergenic drugs,and ADR induced by OTC traditional Chinese medicine can not be ignored. To improve medical knowledge and skills of the public and the scientific use of OTC drug are beneficial to improve the clinical treatment level.

Objective To study the sensitivity and reliability of rat skin anaphylactoid test method, detect and evaluate the anaphylactoid reaction of traditional Chinese medecine injection. Methods The condition of rat skin anaphylactoid test was optimized by studying the influencing factors of sensitivity and reliability of test with C48/80 as a tool drug, Tween80, endotoxin, China cobra toxin, trichosanthin injection, Tanreqing injection and Xuesaitong injection were investigated. Results The best conditions of rat skin anaphylactoid test was as follows:intrademal inject the drug with insulin syringe, 50-100μL per point, immediately inject 0.5%Evans blue dye 1 mL though caudal vein, 15 min later, kill the rat by carotid artery bleeding, clip dorsal skin to do the test. With this method, Tween80, endotoxin, China cobra toxin and trichosanthin injection all can induce blue stain in rat skin. Tanreqing injection showed no blue stain at the clinical dose. Xuesaitong injection although can induce blue stain in rat skin at the clinical dose, but the results cannot exclude the interference of its pharmacological function. Conclusion The method is simple with short test cycle, less dose of test drug, high detection sensitivity and good reproducibility, but some drug can show false positive result due to its own property.
