Twenty years of adverse drug reactions: a look back – part 2
Summary
After 20 years, Robin Ferner and Christopher Anton, who took on responsibility for the Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin from its founder Professor Dai Davies, are handing over responsibility to Professor Kim Dalhoff and his colleague Dr Jon Andersen in Copenhagen. They take the opportunity to review some interesting, important, or unusual clinical aspects of adverse drug reactions encountered over the last twenty years. (Source: Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin)

Challenges in the assessment of adverse drug reactions in children and neonates
Summary
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common in children and it is often difficult to distinguish ADRs from other underlying conditions. Children range from preterm neonates to adolescents with changing patterns of disease, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The continuous development during childhood presents a challenge to developing, prescribing and administering age-appropriate medicines. Paediatric ADRs can be difficult to characterize. There is a lack of agreed definitions, which are needed so that data on ADRs can be consistently reported and reliably interpreted. Many of the adult tools to assess causalit...

Adverse reactions to ophthalmic medicines
Summary
Drugs used topically in the eye can cause systemic adverse effects that can range from mild to fatal. Ocular drugs can cause adverse effects by draining through the nasolacrimal duct and being absorbed into the blood stream, or by precipitating in the eye, or by causing an increase in intraocular pressure.

Adverse effects of phenytoin and fosphenytoin
Summary
Phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin) and fosphenytoin are still important treatments for seizure disorders. The experience of fosphenytoin suggests that many of the adverse effects recognized to occur with phenytoin can also occur with the newer pro-drug. Here we consider some of the more important adverse effects of these agents. (Source: Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin)

Computerized order entry, clinical decision support, and safer prescribing
Summary: Unintended harms from medicines caused by adverse drug reactions and medication errors are common. The medication process is very complex, and error can occur in the development, manufacture, distribution, prescribing, dispensing, administration, and monitoring of medicines. The prescriber, to avoid error, must first make careful decisions tailored to account for numerous factors that differ from patient to patient, then communicate orders that others must execute meticulously and whose consequences must be adequately monitored.

Drug-induced metabolic acidosis
Summary: Drug causes of metabolic acidosis are numerous and their mechanisms are diverse. Broadly, they can cause metabolic acidosis with either a normal anion gap (e.g. drug-induced renal tubular acidosis) or an elevated anion gap (e.g. drug-induced lactic acidosis or pyroglutamic acidosis). This review describes the drugs that can cause or contribute to metabolic acidosis during therapeutic use, the mechanisms by which this occurs, and how they may be identified in practice.

Adverse effects of laxatives: update: Correspondence
Summary: Laxatives are generally well tolerated and adverse effects mild or moderate, although rarely adverse effects can be fatal. Several laxatives have recently been licensed for intractable constipation not relieved by simple laxatives, opioid-induced constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. Like the older laxatives, the new laxatives usually cause only mild adverse effects, although some serious effects have been reported. (Source: Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin)

Patch tests: not a useful tool in diagnosing adverse cutaneous drug reactions
Summary: Cutaneous adverse drug reactions are common in India. We invited this review on the use of patch tests to diagnose these reactions. The findings show that patch tests are of limited value in diagnosing cutaneous adverse drug reactions. (Source: Adverse Drug Reaction Bulletin)
