Analysis of the Implementation of Blood Tests Specified in the Package Insert After Prescription of Thiamazole

Conclusions This study revealed that blood tests after prescription of thiamazole as listed in the warning section on the package insert are not performed sufficiently at our hospital. The rate at which differential leukocyte counts were obtained was approximately 80% of white blood cell counts at all observational periods. Physician education should be more rigorously performed than presently done, and automatic generation of warnings that urge blood tests and patient education regarding the importance of blood tests is also important.
