Evaluation of adverse drug reactions to off-label use of drugs in children from spontaneously reported cases at a tertiary care hospital

Kalpana Suryabha Dudhal, Neha Ganesh Kadhe, Sudhir Pawar.


Abstract
Background: Off-label use of drugs (OLUDs) is relatively common in pediatric and this may be associated with adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The studies about the safety of drugs used in children cannot be applied to safety of drugs during OLUDs as drug is used in way that is different from that described in regulatory body. Hence, it is worthwhile to evaluate the off-label status of the suspected drugs causing ADRs.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the pattern of ADRs occurring during OLUDs in pediatric patients from the spontaneously reported ADRs cases at the pharmacovigilance unit of a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: Single center, retrospective, observational study was conducted in the department of pharmacology. ADRs spontaneously reported from January 2016 to December 2017, which occurred during OLUDs in children, where causality is certain, probable and possible.

Results: A total of 46 ADRs occurred during OLUDs in 44 patients, these patients received 174 medicines among which 66 were off-labeled drugs. Off-label drugs mainly belonged to anti-infectives for systemic use (70.31%) and it is associated with 30 ADRs (68.18%). The most commonly affected organ system is skin and subcutaneous tissue (43.18%).

Conclusion: OLUDs is associated with ADR, so caution should be taken while prescribing a drug in off-label manner in children.

Key words: Adverse Drug Reaction; Unlicenced Use; Labeled Use
