OBJECTIVE: To explore the general regulation and characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADR) induced by ticagrelor, and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS: 672 patients received ticagrelor in our hospital from Dec. 2013 to Jun. 2015 were followed-up, and the situation was analyzed and summarized after taking drug. RESULTS: In the 672 patients, 78 (11.6%) patients sutfered from 108 cases of ADR, the ratio of male to female was 5.5 ∶ 1, there was statistical significance (P<0.05); patients mostly aged 51-60 years (37.2%); the mainly involved organs/systems were respiratory system (41.7%), and skin and its appendages (38.0%), the main clinical manifestations were minor bleeding (78.7%), dyspnea (17.6%) and bradycardia (2.8%);no severe ADR was found. CONCLUSIONS: Ticagrelor had good safety and tolerability, but due to its shorter time to market in China and absense of evidence-based medicine for large-scale clinical trials in Asian population, clinic should strengthen medication monitoring to reduce the ADR and ensure drug safety.
