1.Unwanted drug effects, allergy. 2. Effects of age and disease on drug disposition, Anton Kohút 1.Unwanted (side) drug effects ALL DRUGS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING BENEFICIAL AS WELL AS HARMFUL EFFECTS, DRUGS CAN DAMAGE HEALTH Classification of harmful effects 1. Pharmacodynamic effects related to the principal pharmacological action of the drug They are: - predictable, - dose-dependent -bleeding after anticoagulants treatment -bronchoconstriction with adrenoreceptor-blocking drugs -AV block after digitalis administration 2. Toxic effects - unrelated to the principal pharmacological action Are usually due to reactive metabolites of the drug and are often more serious. cell damage and cell death (a liver or kidney damage, bone marrow supression) mutagenesis and carcinogenesis teratogenesis drug allergy Harmful effects of drugs Toxic effects effects unrelated to the principal pharmacological action of the drug Overdosis – intoxication these effects are closely associated with the pharmacodynamic action for which the drug is being used. Toxic effects- mechanisms In most cases it is caused by interaction between reactive compounds formed during metabolism and cell constituents (lipids, proteins, DNA) 1. non-covalent bound lipid peroxidation generation of toxic oxygen species alteration (depletion) of GSH concentration modification of SHgroups 2. covalent bound • Targets are: DNA, proteins/peptides, lipids, carbohydrates binding to protein can produce an immunogen binding to DNA can cause carcinogenesis, mutagenesis or teratogenesis Toxic effects - organotoxicity • Hepatotoxicity • Paracetamol, isoniazid (INH), iproniazid, halothane, methotrexate, chlorpromazine • Nephrotoxicity NSAIDs, ACEI, Phenacetin, paracetamol, cyclosporin Teratogenic effects (gross structural malformations during foetal) development it has been known since 1920 (X-irradiation) since 1940 - Rubella infection only 35 years ago were drugs recognised as teratogenic agents (thalidomide) 1-5% congenital defects is caused by drugs • Heavy metals - mercury, lead, cadmium • Antiepileptic drugs - 2-3 more malformations in babies born to epileptic mothers (fenythoin) • Antiemetics - have been widely used in treatment of morning sickness in early pregnancy it is prudent to avoid the use of these drugs in pregnant • patients if possible Born to thalidomide mothers Drug alergy it is delayed in onset, occuring a few days after administration of the drug or occurs only with repeated exposure to the drug may occur with very small doses of the drug, too small to elicit its pharmacodynamic effects - incidence of allergic drug reactions is between 2-25% - great majority are relatively harmless skin eruptions - serious reactions (e.g. anaphylaxis, hemolysis, bone marrow depression) which may be life-threatening are rare - the incidence of death from allergic reactions is estimated at 1:10 000 Types of allergic response to drugs Toxic and allergic reactions HOW TO MINIMIZE THE SEVERITY OF TOXIC REACTIONS Individualize drug therapy Refer to the literature for information on drug interactions Anticipate that after prolonged therapy patients are most likely to react adversely when new therapy is initiated or terminated Teach patients to identify early signs of adverse reactions Optimize the therapy Side effects of drugs in oral cavity 1.
