Potential drug interactions analysis of COVID-19 patients at a hospital in West Java

Abstract: Background: Treatment guidelines of COVID-19 are changing continuously by involving many off-label and various symptomatic or supportive drugs. The use of these various drugs might increase the patient’s risk of developing drug interactions. Objective: The study aimed to analyze potential drug-drug interactions in COVID-19 inpatients and the correlated factors. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a hospital by using inpatients admitted from August-December 2020. Potential drug-drug interaction w… Show more

“…The high number of items prescribed is a problem related to polypharmacy, which describes the simultaneous use of multiple drugs. Thus, polypharmacy in public healthcare centers can have negative effects, such as increased patient expenditures [9,12], unwanted side effects [12][13][14][15], drug interactions [16][17][18][19][20][21], healthrelated quality of life [22,23] and in compliance with the treatment [24][25][26]. In this study, polypharmacy was found in some patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus.…”

“…Tatalaksana pengobatan pada pasien COVID-19 diberikan antivirus, terapi suportif dan terapi simptomatik [8]. Berdasarkan penelitian di Indonesia, pasien COVID-19 menerima 9 obat (polifarmasi) selama di rawat inap [9]. Pasien yang menggunakan obat dalam jumlah banyak (polifarmasi) berpotensi mengalami interaksi obat-obat [10].…”

“…Berdasarkan hasil penelitian di Indonesia potensi interaksi obat pada pasien COVID-19 rawat inap berkisar 54.61% hingga 93.33% [9], [13]. Penelitian di salah satu rumah sakit di Kalimantan Selatan menjelaskan pada pasien COVID-19 ditemukan potensi interaksi obat sebanyak 231 kasus, dengan empat interaksi obat terbesar yaitu Azitromisin -Hidroksikloroquin; Azitromisin -Levofloxacin; Hidroksikloroquin -Levofloxacin; serta Azitromisin -Lovinapir dan Ritonavir [14].…”

“…The more of drugs used patients, the higher potential for drug interactions (7). The presence of comorbidities in COVID-19 patients results in a longer duration of patient hospitalization and the use of multiple drugs or polypharmacy, thereby increasing the risk of drug interactions (8). Drug interactions with drugs that have the potential to occur in the treatment of COVID-19 comorbid hypertension need to be known because they can cause adverse drug reactions (ADR) thereby increasing the risk of hospitalization, long recovery time, or death in severe cases (9).…”
