Puerarin Injection- induced Hemolytic Reactions:Literature Analysis of 44 Cases / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the regular pattern,related factors and prognosis of hemolytic reactions induced by Puerarin injection.METHODS:A total of 44 hemolytic cases induced by Puerarin injection reported in 26 papers of domestic journals published since 1994 were analyzed.RESULTS:Of the 44 cases collected,31 were males and 13 females,with a mean age of(67.5?9.6) years.The hemolytic reactions were induced either by Puerarin injection or Puerarin for injection with a mean dose of(445.2?123.8)mg and a mean concentration of puerarin(in infusion) of(1.55?0.52) mg?mL~(-1).The hemolytic reactions occurred chiefly after administration of puerarin for 7 consecutive days(7.96?3.84 days on average) and appeared as acute hemolytic anemia.The puerarin specific antibody was noted in immunological test.10 patients including 9 males and 1 male died at a mean age of(72.1?5.7) years.CONCLUSION:The occurrence and turnover of Puerarin Injection - induced hemolytic reactions are related to many factors,to which great attention should be paid.
