Analysis of Antiretroviral Drugs-Induced Adverse Elfects. In 1999, The Regional Center of Pharmacogilance and the Department of Infectious Disease of the Toulouse University Hospital set up a system to improve the data collection about antiretroviral-induced adverse reactionss (ADRs). From November 1999 to April 2003, a resident of pharmacovigilance collected ADRs reported with antiretroviral drugs during 2 weekly medical consultations. A total of 613 ADRs corresponding to 428 patients were reported, classified as "non serious" in 88.6% of cases and required the withdrawal of suspected drugs in 57% of cases. Our data show an improvement of antiretroviral drug-induced ADRs reporting.
