アブストラクト | OBJECTIVE: Bupropion, a monocyclic antidepressant, aids in smoking cessation, treats major depression, and prevents severe depression in seasonal affective disorder patients. Yet, its adverse reactions remain insufficiently studied. METHODS: All data from the raw data packages for 78 quarters from the 1st quarter of 2004 to the 2nd quarter of 2023 were extracted from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database and imported into the SAS9.4 software for data cleaning and analysis. The Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR), Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network (BCPNN), and Multi-item Gamma Poisson Shrinker (MGPS) methods were used to analyze drug adverse events and assess their compliance with various screening criteria. RESULTS: The results showed a total of 36,862 reports related to Bupropion use, identifying 364 positive reaction terms (PT) covering 23 System Organ Classes (SOCs). In addition to known side effects, some new potential adverse reactions were found, such as Stool analysis abnormal, Oculocephalogyric reflex absent, Suspected suicide, and so on. At the same time, reactions like Encephalopathy neonatal, Hyponatraemic coma, and Electrocardiogram QRS complex prolonged were prominently ranked. Notably, occurrences such as Urine amphetamine positive and Amphetamines positive were relatively high, suggesting extra caution for these potential adverse reactions during clinical use of Bupropion. CONCLUSION: These findings highlight the potential health risks of long-term Bupropion use, especially concerning efficacy, positive drug tests, and suicidal tendencies. Therefore, it is recommended to monitor and assess patients using Bupropion more stringently to use this therapeutically potential drug more safely and effectively. |
