“Leukerin® powder 10%” containing mercaptopurine (6-MP) is an oral anticancer drug that requires careful handling. As a powder formulation, there are risks of exposure due to scattering during dispensing and possible 6-MP contamination to other drugs due to adhesion to the packaging machine. We previously reported that wiping with an alcohol-containing towel is useful for removing scattered powder after dispensing. However, it is recommended to wipe disk-type powder-packaging machines with water instead of cleaning with the alcohol-containing towel. Hence, we scattered 6-MP powder 100 mg (total amount of 6-MP: 10 mg), and then wiped with water three times using different types of cloth each time. We confirmed that third time wiping cloth did not have any 6-MP. Furthermore, we confirmed that the adhering 6-MP could be removed by wipe-cleaning (water-wiping twice and dry-wiping once) after dispensing 6-MP powder at two pharmacies that routinely dispensed 6-MP powder using a disk-type powder-packaging machine. In addition, we confirmed the adhesion of 6-MP in parts of the machine not cleaned by wipe-cleaning and also in parts that were washed only with water, in both the pharmacies. Based on the above observations, we recommend the following steps for cleaning disk-type powder-packaging machines after dispensing 6-MP powder: (1) wipe-cleaning that includes water-wiping twice and then dry-wiping once, (2) cleaning all areas of the packaging machine, and (3) wipe-cleaning with water before washing with water.

The immunosuppressant azathioprine (AZA) is classified as a hazardous drug. AZA contamination during tablet-splitting increases exposure risk. However, there is no study on contamination and exposure during AZA tablet splitting and dispensing. AZA tablet splitting and dispensing methods were classified based on whether tweezers are used during splitting and packaging. In Dispensing Method (1), no tweezers were used in either step. In Dispensing Method (2), no tweezers were used during tablet splitting, but were used during packaging. In Dispensing Method (3), tweezers were used in both steps. After AZA half-tablet split-dispensing, we quantified the adherent AZA removed from the tools, packaging machines, and dispensing counters by three consecutive wipings with water-dampened polypropylene cloths. A large amount of AZA adhered to the gloves used in Dispensing Methods (1) and (2), wherein tablets were placed with gloved hands, compared with Dispensing Method (3), wherein tablets were held with tweezers. Thus, the gloves must be replaced before touching the packaging paper during the final step. After three consecutive wipings, AZA was not detected at most of the sites in the third round. Thus, we recommend that (1) AZA tablet splitting should be performed while wearing gloves, (2) the gloves should be changed before packaging the half tablets, and (3) the tools, packaging machines, and dispensing counters should be wiped twice or thrice with a water-dampened cloth after dispensing.

A 55-year-old man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a pacemaker was admitted with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Before admission, the patient's medications included amiodarone, diltiazem, bisoprolol, atorvastatin, etizolam, and warfarin (WF). After admission, dexamethasone (DXM) and remdesivir (RDV) were initiated for treating COVID-19. The international normalized ratio (INR) on admission was 1.8, which increased to 3.4 on day 5 and to 6.9 on day 10 after admission. Although there have been reports that RDV may occasionally prolong prothrombin time and that the degree of prolongation is often less severe, the mechanism of action has not been elucidated till date. There are reports of prolonged INR when WF is co-administered with RDV and DXM, suggesting that drug interactions may be a potential cause for the prolongation. A similar drug interaction may have potentially occurred in the case reported here. In addition, this case used amiodarone (AMD), and it has been reported that the RDV concentration increases when used in combination with AMD. Further investigations are needed to elucidate the cause of INR prolongation. Thus, close monitoring of the patient is recommended when RDV is co-administered with high-risk agents to avoid unnecessary side effects.

Over 100 pharmaceutical products are withdrawn from the market in Japan each year. Nonetheless, there has so far been no report consisting of a specific survey of the volume of work borne by the medical organizations related to such with drawals. As are sult, a survey of the response of medical organizations and the volume of work have been made regarding the withdrawal of Maalox ®in August 2000.Our findings revealed that a considerable amount of time, namely 4, 502 minutes was expended regarding the withdrawal of this product at Kitasato University East Hospital. A total of 2, 770 minutes, or 62% of the total time was spent within 24 hours after receiving the announcement of the drug's removal from the market. When the total time was broken down by job type, 3, 188 minutes, or 71% of the total, were spent by pharmacists A further, 2, 315 minutes, or 52% of the total, were used to determine how to best respond to the matter.In order to efficiently recall pharmaceutical products, an operation was established which was thereafter distributed to all concemed staff members.The total time spent on the withdrawal of Maalox ® was estimated to have utilized approximately ¥285, 000of labor cost, based on the average wages of the employees. As a result, hospitals are forced to bear a significant economic burden whenever such products are withdrawn.Finally, pharmaceutical manufacturers should be equipped with the systems for manufacture and supply as much as possible to minimize such recall incidents. When drug are unavoidably withdrawn, however, the manufacturers should nevertheless provide all appropriate information as quickly as possible to the related medical organizations while carefully taking the economic burden that such organizations must bear into consideration.

Few studies have examined the relationship between the use of antidepressants and the onset of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus in Japan. We herein explored the possibility of this relationship using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database (JADER). The present study included 20 individual antidepressants, consisting of 6 subclasses, which have been approved for use in Japan. We used Standardized MedDRA Queries 20000041 to extract patients who developed hyperglycemia/new onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) in JADER between April 2004 and September 2016. We calculated reporting odds ratios (RORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). We also calculated odds ratios defined as the ratio of odds of hyperglycemia/NODM to all other adverse drug events (ADEs) by the age cut-off group or sex in the cases of antidepressants. The lower limit of 95%CI of RORs for 13 antidepressants (imipramine, clomipramine, nortriptyline, amitriptyline, amoxapine, maprotiline, mianserin, sertraline, paroxetine, escitalopram, duloxetine, mirtazapine, and trazodone), which included all subclasses, exceeded 1. Younger age group was associated with hyperglycemia/NODM for 5 antidepressants (imipramine, amitriptyline, maprotiline, duloxetine, and trazodone), and female was associated with the ADEs for trazodone, although these results should be interpreted cautiously. Healthcare personnel need to be aware that the use of antidepressants may lead to hyperglycemia/NODM.

We studied the quality and stability of generic sodium ozagrel solution products for injection. Through the use of inspection apparatus, we noted exfoliation of the surface layer of glass ampoules filled with sodium ozagrel solution drug products for injection. Also, foreign insoluble matter, such as oil droplets, which was assumed to be silicone that had been applied to the internal surface of syringe barrels, was observed in pre-filled syringe products. In a stability study performed under accelerated conditions (40°C/75% RH) the generic sodium ozagrel solutions yielded a degradation product that was not detected in the lyophilized original product. The degradation product content of some of the generic products was over 16 mg/mL of sodium ozagrel, exceeding the specification for the original lyophilized product. These results indicate that some of the generic products are inferior in quality and stability to the original lyophilized drug.

The simple suspension method has been developed for performing tubal administration by placing tablets or capsules in hot water (55 °C) and serially decaying/suspending them without crushing/opening them. However, the stability of a cardinal drug against the pH of the suspension and heat remains unclear. In this study, we examined the stability of an oral anti-tumor preparation, capecitabine tablets, against the pH of the suspension and heat. Initially, we assessed the stability of capecitabine tablets suspended in phosphate-buffered saline at various pHs. Subsequently, we investigated the stability of capecitabine tablets suspended in phosphate-buffered saline heated at 25 or 55 °C. In addition, we evaluated the stability of this preparation heated at 55 or 80 °C for 30 minutes after being suspended in phosphate-buffered saline heated at 25 °C. When capecitabine suspension was heated at 80 °C for 30 minutes under acidic conditions, the residual capecitabine rate was approximately 50%. Then, a tube passage test of capecitabine was conducted. Passage was favorable. There was no decrease in the content after passage in comparison with the pre-passage value. Based on these results, the tubal administration of capecitabine should be performed considering both the drug suspension pH and temperature.

Elcatonin injection is used for the treatment of osteoporosis in Japan. In order to compare the original product with generic versions, we measured the elcatonin content and amounts of impurities in both using high performance liquid chromatography, and observed changes in content with time under the conditions of light exposure and shaking. We found that elcatonin content and amounts of impurities varied among the generics and that changes in content with time under the above conditions for some generics were greater than the changes for the original product. These results suggest that some generic products should not be considered to be equivalent to the original product.
