Sayana® was introduced as the first depot medroxyprogesterone acetate-containing contraceptive that is administered via subcutaneous injection. Within 10 months, the Regional Pharmacovigilance Centre (RPVC) Zurich received several anonymous reports of serious local reactions after Sayana® administration. In this retrospective study, individual case safety reports (ICSRs) on local adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to Sayana® were analysed from the WHO pharmacovigilance database.
International, national and regional ICSRs during Sayana® administration up to 1 January 2016 were examined. Data on ADRs were retrieved from the WHO Global Database VigiBase™. Demographic data, drug administration information, duration of Sayana® treatment, latency time of the ADR, and its course, severity and outcomes were analysed.
Worldwide, 398 ICSRs after Sayana® use were registered in the database. We identified 20 reported terms that were potentially used to describe a persistent lipodystrophy. When only cases containing one or more of these 20 reported terms were selected, 323 (81.2%) international ICSRs remained for analysis. Of those, 91.6% (n = 296) were categorised as serious. The majority of the reactions (n = 193, 54.4%) did not recover. In the 67 Swiss ICSRs, 77 ADRs were reported using 10 different terms including severe or persistent local reactions like lipodystrophy, atrophy or fat necrosis. Thirty-two patients (47.7%) did not recover. All 11 regional cases reported to the RPVC Zurich were categorised as serious ADRs. For the majority of the patients (n = 7, 63.6%) the interval between the application of Sayana® and development of the lipodystrophy was between 2 and 4 months. Most of the reactions were irreversible (n = 9, 81.8%). One patient underwent plastic surgery for artificial infill of the dent.
Persistent local injection site reactions such as lipodystrophy, fat tissue necrosis or atrophy occur frequently after subcutaneous Sayana® use. These adverse drug reactions were recently integrated in the Swiss product information. Physicians and patients should be informed and advised about these potentially irreversible effects.
Sayana®是首款通过皮下注射给药的含醋酸甲羟孕酮长效避孕针。在10个月内,苏黎世地区药物警戒中心(RPVC)收到了几例关于使用Sayana®后出现严重局部反应的匿名报告。在这项回顾性研究中,从世界卫生组织药物警戒数据库分析了与Sayana®相关的局部药物不良反应(ADR)的个体病例安全报告(ICSR)。
检查了截至2016年1月1日使用Sayana®期间的国际、国家和地区ICSR。从世界卫生组织全球数据库VigiBase™中检索ADR数据。分析了人口统计学数据、药物给药信息、Sayana®治疗持续时间、ADR的潜伏时间及其病程、严重程度和结局。
在全球范围内,数据库中登记了398例使用Sayana®后的ICSR。我们确定了20个报告术语,可能用于描述持续性脂肪营养不良。当仅选择包含这20个报告术语中的一个或多个的病例时,仍有323份(81.2%)国际ICSR用于分析。其中,91.6%(n = 296)被归类为严重。大多数反应(n = 193,54.4%)未恢复。在67份瑞士ICSR中,使用10个不同术语报告了77例ADR,包括严重或持续性局部反应,如脂肪营养不良、萎缩或脂肪坏死。32例患者(47.7%)未恢复。向苏黎世RPVC报告的所有11例地区病例均被归类为严重ADR。对于大多数患者(n = 7,63.6%),使用Sayana®与出现脂肪营养不良之间的间隔为2至4个月。大多数反应是不可逆的(n = 9,81.8%)。一名患者接受了整形手术以人工填充凹陷处。
皮下使用Sayana®后,经常会出现持续性局部注射部位反应,如脂肪营养不良、脂肪组织坏死或萎缩。这些药物不良反应最近已纳入瑞士产品说明书中。应告知医生和患者这些潜在的不可逆影响。
