[Vigilance for veterinary medicinal products: Reports of adverse reactions in the year 2015].
Abstract: A total of 292 adverse reactions to veterinary medicinal products were reported during the year 2015. This represents an increase of 9% compared to the previous year (268 reports). Similar to previous years, most of the reactions reported were linked to the use of antiparasitics (55.1%), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory products (8.9%) or antiinfectives (9.3%). The affected animal species were primarily dogs (198 reports) and cats (42 reports), followed by cattle (31 reports) and horses (8 reports). Additional 42 reports were provided within the frame of consultations with Tox Info Suisse in Zürich and involved mainly the excessive intake of flavored tablets. Eight signals were identified from the reports received or the periodic safety update reports. They resulted in revisions of the product information in sections addressing contraindications, adverse reactions or withdrawal times. Im Jahr 2015 wurden 292 Meldungen über unerwünschte Wirkungen eingereicht. Gegenüber dem Vorjahr (268 Meldungen) entspricht dies einer Zunahme von 9%. Wie in früheren Jahren betraf die Mehrheit der Meldungen Antiparasitika (55.1%), gefolgt von nicht-steroidalen Entzündungshemmern (8.9%) und Antiinfektiva (8.2%). Am häufigsten wurden Meldungen zu Reaktionen bei Hunden (198) und Katzen (42) eingereicht, danach folgten Rinder und Kälber (31) sowie Pferde (8). Zusätzliche 42 Fälle, die von Tox Info Suisse in Zürich übermittelt wurden, betrafen mehrheitlich die Aufnahme aromatisierter Tabletten in Überdosis. Von den 292 Meldungen und eingereichten periodischen Berichten über die Sicherheit wurden 8 Signale identifiziert, die zu einer Anpassung der Arzneimittelinformation der betroffenen Präparate in den Rubriken unerwünschte Wirkungen, Kontraindikationen oder Absetzfristen führten. En 2015, 292 annonces d’effets indésirables ont été enregistrées, ce qui correspond à une augmentation de 9% par rapport à l’année précédente (268 annonces). Comme les années passées, la majorité de ces annonces concernait des antiparasitaires (55.1%), suivis par des anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens (8.9%) et des antiinfectieux (8.2%). C’est chez les chiens (198) et les chats (42) que les annonces ont été les plus fréquentes, suivis par les bovins et les veaux (31) puis les chevaux (8). Quarante-deux cas supplémentaires, transmis par Tox Info Suisse à Zürich, concernaient principalement la prise en quantités exagérées de tablettes aromatisées. On a identifié, sur la base des 292 annonces et des rapports périodiques sur la sécurité reçus, 8 signaux qui ont amené à une adaptation des informations sur les médicaments dans les rubriques effets indésirables, contreindications ou délais d’attente. Nel 2015 sono state inoltrate 292 notifiche di effetti indesiderati. Rispetto allo scorso anno (268 notifiche), questo rappresenta un incremento del 9%. Come negli anni precedenti, le reazioni più importanti sono risultate dall’uso di farmaci antiparassitari (55.1%), antinfiammatori (8.9%) e antinfettivi (8.2%). Più di frequente sono state inoltrate notifiche relative alle reazioni nei cani (198) e nei gatti (42), seguite da bovini e vitelli (31) e cavalli (8). Ulteriori 42 casi, riguardanti principalmente la somministrazione di pastiglie aromatizzate in sovradosaggio, sono stati trasmessi dal servizio Tox Info Suisse di Zurigo. Tra le 292 notifiche e le relazioni periodicamente inoltrate in materia di sicurezza sono stati identificati 8 punti che hanno portato ad un adeguamento delle informazioni del preparato nella rubrica effetti indesiderati, controindicazioni e termini di attesa.
