Benoxaprofen--adverse reactions and monitoring in general practice
Abstract:
We report on the pattern of use of benoxaprofen (Opren) in a single group practice for a period which included the complete clinical life of the drug. One hundred and seventy-two patients of the 6495 practice patients had been prescribed benoxaprofen, but 55% had only a small exposure (less than 20 g). Recorded adverse reactions, of which none was serious, appeared in 25 patients. Most were taking benoxaprofen for osteoarthritis (53%) or non-specific musculoskeletal pain (39.9%). The issue of a prescription was not recorded in 19.6% of cases and 88% were on additional drugs. Greater precision in record-keeping is required to avoid problems similar to the experience with benoxaprofen.

Factors Affecting Drug Response: Overview
Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow. Administered...
