ABSTRACT
Objective:To discuss the causes and characteristics of drug-related problems(DRPs) of antiepileptic drugs by the in-vestigation of antiepileptic drugs' use in our hospital in order to provide reference for the rational clinical application of antiepileptic drugs. Methods:A retrospective analysis on 878 inpatients' records including antiepileptic drug application in our hospital from Janu-ary to December 2016 was carried out. The gender,age,etiology,application of antiepileptic drugs,usage,combination and adverse reactions were statistically analyzed in order to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of antiepileptic drugs in our hospital. At the same time,the necessity,safety and validity of the DRPs of antiepileptic drugs were studied by the international generic Spanish drug related research method(Granada-Ⅱclassification method). Results:Among the 878 cases,most were male patients(60.71%) and the proportion of patients over 50 years old was 69.02%. Patients with cerebrovascular diseases accounted for the most (323 cases, 36.79%),and 7 varieties of antiepileptic drugs were involved, and sodium valproate was with the largest proportion (489 cases, 51.75%). The DRPs were classified as DRP2(49 cases),DRP5(22 cases) and DRP6(8 cases). Conclusion:In view of the epi-demiological characteristics of antiepileptic drugs and DRPs specific issues in clinical applications, clinical pharmacists need to strengthen the intervention in DRPs of antiepileptic drugs in order to promote the safety and reasonability of clinical application.
