antihypertensives class, 184 for M04-gout preparations, 135 for C10-lipid modifying agents and 218 for B03-antianaemic preparations. 64% of patients (139) used gastroprotectors, especially proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). 3 DDIs, of 289 detected, were considered contraindicated and potentially serious, and were due to antipsychotic drugs. Drugs most responsible for DDIs were: cardioaspirin, PPIs, angiotensin receptor blockers and diuretics. 975 (4.2±2.2 per patient) and 571 (2.4±1.7 per patient) inappropriate drugs were identified according to STOPP criteria and Beers criteria, respectively. Conclusion and relevance Polypharmacy is associated with a high incidence of DDIs and an increased risk of mortality and hospitalisation. The use of the ICT tool and the clinical pharmacist who bring their contribution in terms of pharmacological and pharmacokinetic knowledge have significantly contributed to the improvement in prescriptive appropriateness and minimised the risk of adverse events.

flushes (7.7%); four thrombocytopaenia, three cases grade 1 (11.5%) and one case grade 3 (3.8%); and two alopecia grade 1 (7.7%); Of all of them, there were a total of seven temporary treatment suspensions (26.9%) and four dose reductions (15.3%). Conclusion With the results of our study, we wanted to show the safety profile of these new drugs, although the reflected data do not allow comparisons with clinical trials due to the small sample size. Future studies will allow to make these comparisons, because the advantages that these drugs bring in effectiveness will lead to considerable increases in their use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
