Abstract

OBJETIVE

To analyze the latex content of drugs in hospital formulary and establish possible therapeutic alternatives.

METHODS

All drugs susceptible of having latex were selected and written information was obtained from manufacturers. A therapeutic alternative was found for each of them, if possible.

RESULTS

Written information from manufacturer was obtained for 605 (97.9%) and from label information for 8 of 632 selected drugs. For 43.9% of not safe drugs (total 57) on patients with latex allergy, a therapeutic alternative was found in hospital formulary.

CONCLUSIONS

Knowing drugs having latex improve the prescription security, while the therapeutic alternatives chart eases the validation. The published data updates the scarce and variable information for patients and healthcare professionals.
