OBJECTIVE: To investigate rules and characteristics of ADR induced by antigout agents, and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS: A total of 146 literatures, 167 putients of ADR induced by antigout agents, which were reported during Jan. 1979-Dec. 2014. RESULTS: Of 167 ADR cases, the ratio of male to female was 5.4 ∶ 1, and ADR patients aged above 70 years occupied the highest proportion (34.14%); Most ADR were induced by allopurinol(137 cases) ADR induced by antigout agents mainly were dermal system injury (60.00%), systemic reaction (9.19%), urinary system injury (5.95%), etc. and the specific performance manifested as erythra (51 cases), dermatitis exfoliativa (38 cases), drug hypersensitivity syndrome (13 cases), bullous epidermal necrolysis type of drug eruption (11 cases), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (9 cases) and so on. New and severe ADR were 66 cases, 13 cases of severe ADR were dead. CONCLUSIONS: ADR induced by antigout agents is common in clinical and should be treated promptly, patient’s care also should be strengthen to ensure patient medication safety and improve clinical treatment.
