Objective  To analyze the adverse drug reactions (ADR) of Ciwujia injection and the relative influence factors.
Methods  We searched all clinical studies and ADR reports of Ciwujia injection from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. The relevant information such as the diseases for treatment; menstruum, dosage and compatibility of Ciwujia injection; the age, gender and allergic history of patients; and the category, treatment and prognosis of ADR were collected and analyzed.
Results  In the 800 clinical studies, only 97 (12.1%) reported 285 ADR cases, 144 ADR reports including 236 ADR cases. Of the ADR cases, the male to female ratio was 1׃1.34, mainly in 40 to 69 years group; The ADR cases mainly including anaphylactic shock and local pain in ADR reports and clinical studies, respectively; 72.3 percent ADR cases were Ⅲ to Ⅳ class, 4 anaphylactic shock cases died; the diseases for treatment of ADR cases mainly were coronary artery heart disease and cerebral infarction; 27 (11.4%) ADR cases had allergic history; The menstruum of Ciwujia injection mainly were 5% glucose, 0.9% NaCl and 10% glucose, drug incompatibility in 36 ADR cases; The usual dosage of Ciwujia injection was 20-60 ml; 196 (83.0%) ADR cases occurred in first time medication, mainly in the early 30 minutes of medication used.
Conclusion  (1) In both ADR reports and clinical studies of Ciwujia injection, there are some problems of ADR and adverse drug events (AE) were not easily distinguishable, key information of total prescriptions divided by drug persons were lacking, so we can’t calculate the ADR rate, the reporting quality remained to be improved. (2) To support the rational drug use, the basic researches of Ciwujia injection remains to be further studied, especially the dose-finding studies. (3) As one of the most frequently reported ADR of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injection, high quality ADR monitoring, normative ADR reporting and timely analyzing the ADR reason of Ciwujia injection is extremely urgent.
