Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(9):802-805
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of flupentixol and melitracen tablets combined with macrogol 4000 powders on treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in elderly patients. Methods Fifty paients aged from 65 to 95 years with IBS-C were randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (23 patients) and treatment group (27 patients). The patients in treatment group received flupentixol and melitracen tablets (1 tablets, once a day) combined with macrogol 4000 powders (1 bag/time, 2 times a day) , while the patients in control group received macrogol 4000 powders alone. The treatment period was 4 weeks. The curative effect, the scores of self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and adverse reaction were compared between two groups. Results At the improvement of depressive symptoms, the effective rate in treatment group and control group was 88.9%(24/27) and 39.1%(9/23), and there was significant difference (P<0.01). At the improvement of anxiety symptoms, the effective rate in treatment group and control group was 74.1%(20/27) and 26.1%(6/23), and there was significant difference (P<0.01). The total effective rate in treatment group and control group was 88.9%(24/27) and 65.2%(15/24), and there was significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Flupentixol and melitracen tablets combined with macrogol 4000 powders on treatment of aged IBS-C patients have more distinguished therapeutic effect in improving constipation symptoms, stools times, anxiety and depression.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the differences of drug instructions between hospital directory and OTC standard model in-structions,and to provide reference for enhancing instruction management and reducing the safety risk of clinical drug use. METH-ODS:1 324 drugs of hospital directory in a hospital in 2014 were compared with OTC directory from CFDA websites. The instruc-tion of drug types included in OTC directory were compared OTC model instruction. According to the degree of risks which the dif-ferences may bring,differences were divided into four levels for analysis as negligible,general,important and severe. RESULTS:244 drugs belonged to OTC,of which 32.38%were different from standard model instructions. The four risk levels rates of negligi-ble,general,important and severe accounted for 29.11%,34.18%,7.59% and 29.11%,respectively. Among important risk,the difference of“indication limit”occupied the highest proportion,being 50.00%. Among severe risk,the difference of“forbidden for special disease”and“forbidden for pregnant women”accounted for 43.48% and 39.13%. CONCLUSIONS:There are problems, such as the absence of important medication information,statement conflicts. The hospital and administration departments should en-hance the standard management of drug instruction to guarantee safe and rational drug use in the clinic.
