アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: The potential role of drugs in the onset of panic attacks (PAs) is poorly understood. AIM: The objective of our study was to characterize drug-induced PAs. METHOD: We performed an analysis of PAs registered in the French pharmacovigilance database between 01/01/1985 and 05/11/2014. RESULTS: Among the 163 recorded cases, 136 (83.4%) were directly related to drugs, mainly antidepressants (11.3%, mainly serotonin reuptake inhibitors), mefloquine (7.2%), isotretinoin (5.2%), rimonabant (3.6%) and corticosteroids (4.7%). PAs are labelled in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) for a minority (8.6%) of these drugs. In 31.4% of these cases, withdrawal of the suspected drug was performed more than a week after the onset of PAs. PAs could also be secondary to another adverse drug reaction (ADR; n = 14, 8.6%), mainly an allergy to antineoplastic or immunomodulating agents. In 13 cases (8.0%), PAs occurred during a drug-withdrawal syndrome, mainly after benzodiazepines or opioids. Most cases (73%) involved patients without any previous psychiatric disorder. CONCLUSION: This is the first pharmacoepidemiological study about iatrogenic PAs. Beside antidepressants, the most often encountered drugs are not indicated for psychiatric diseases. This study also reveals that iatrogenic PAs mostly occur in patients without any psychiatric medical history and that PAs can be triggered by another ADR. Lastly, the many cases with delayed management underline the need to raise awareness of this relatively unknown ADR among physicians, especially since PAs are generally not labelled in SmPCs of the suspected drugs. |
