| アブストラクト | Various drugs have been reported to induce myoclonus. However, this adverse event is not well known because of the difficult diagnosis and the lack of pharmaco-epidemiological or controlled studies. As far as we know, there are only case reports. In the literature, antiparkinsonian medications, antipsychotics, antidepressants, anesthetics, opiates and anti-infectious drugs have been reported in the occurrence of myoclonus. In a French pharmacovigilance database study, only 423 reports (0.2%) involved drug-induced myoclonus. The median age of patients was 55 years and 10% of these patients had a concomitant neurological disease. Only 16% of these reports had a strong imputability score (likely). The most frequently involved drugs were anti-infectious (15%), antidepressants (15%), anxiolytics (14%), and opiates agents (12%). Fifty-six percent of these reports were classified as serious adverse event. Concerning outcome, most patients (84%) recovered without sequels. |
