ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for safe use of Nicotinic acid injection in the clinic. METHODS :The clinical pharmacist introduced the occurrence and treatment of cerebral infarction secondary to anaphylactic shock caused by Nicotinic acid injection in a patient with hypertension in the cardiovascular medicine department of our hospital. By consulting the relevant drug instructions and searching the relevant literatures ,the inducement and severity of ADR were evaluated ,and the rational drug use suggestions of Nicotinic acid injection were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :According to the Management Measures for ADR Reporting and Monitoring ,the correlation between anaphylactic shock and Nicotinic acid injection was analyzed and evaluated as “very likely ”. Secondary cerebral infarction was mainly associated with a variety of risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia,etc.),among which there was a greater possibility of secondary cerebral infarction due to insufficient cerebral perfusion caused by anaphylactic shock and sharp drop of blood pressure. The above symptoms could be life-threatening if not rescued in time ,which was defined as “severe ADR ”. Clinical pharmacists suggest that when using Nicotinic acid injection ,the patient’s allergy history should be inquired in detail ,the use should be started from a small dose ,and the patient ’s reaction should be closely monitored in the early stage of medication. For patients with high-risk factors of cerebrovascular diseases (hypertension, hyperlipidemia,etc.),if anaphylactic shock occurs ,the effective circulating blood volume should be restored as soon as possible. After the blood pressure rises ,drugs such as improving microcirculation can be used to prevent secondary cerebral infarction. Clinical pharmacists should timely carry out medication education for such patients ,and warn patients to inform doctors of the related drugs with severe ADR in the later stage of treatment ,so as to prevent the recurrence of anaphylactic shock and severe complications. At the same time ,when antihypertensive drugs and statins are combined ,the blood pressure monitoring and the monitoring of ADR such as muscle toxicity should be strengthened,so as to ensure the medication safety of patients.
