Abstract:
Old drugs are generally considered as drugs that have been on the market for many years and are well known by medical workers and the public. There are still many unsolved problems about the safety of older drugs. Some adverse reactions of old drugs may not be fully understood at present, the safety of their application in special populations still needs long-term monitoring, the study on mechanism of many adverse reactions of old drugs need to be strengthened, and most adverse reactions lack specific diagnostic biomarkers and effective prevention and treatment measures. The adverse reaction content in the old drug labels needs to be continuously improved, and many safety issues in drug application still require standardized expert consensus and guidance.
