Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics and the preventability of neuropsychiatric adverse reactions related to fluoroquinolones in the National Spontaneous ADR Reporting Database. Subject and method: A retrospective descriptive study of spontaneous ADR reports registered at the National DI&ADR Centre from 2017 to 2021. Result: Out of 5149 reports related to fluoroquinolones, 404 reports were on neuropsychiatric disorders. The most reported drugs were levofloxacin (41.8%), ciprofloxacin (36.9%), and moxifloxacin (18.4%). After evaluation, 6.2% of reports were assessed as preventable ADRs (pADR) with associated factors including inappropriate dosage (15 cases), inappropriate prescription for patient’s underlying medical condition (7 cases), inappropriate indications (5 cases), and self-medication with antibiotics (1 case). Conclusion: To minimize the risks associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, it is necessary to implement interventions on managing fluoroquinolone use in clinical practice, focusing on preventable factors.
