5PSQ-106 Analysis of handling of hazardous drugs in a nursing home

Abstract

In 1992, 19 ADRs were notified, a value that progressively increased over the years, reaching its highest in 2003 (84 ADRs). In 2004 it decreased to 46, remained constant (mean 35.7±9.7) and then declined to 31 in the last year. Conclusion and relevance More than one-third of ADRs were serious, but most patients recovered without sequelae. Most notifications to the RPC come from the MDS-H, but a significant number were detected by health staff and HP. In recent years, reported ADRs has decreased, so the HP could be an essential element to develop the pharmacovigilance programme, which is key to improving the safety of medicines by promoting relevant modifications in the technical data sheets and issuing alerts from the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products.
