When a pharmacist informs a patient of premonitory symptoms to prevent any adverse effects of each prescribed medicine, such instructions are often to complicated to be understood by the patients, mainly due to the fact that numerous medicines have a wide range of adverse effects, and furthermore, an such adverse effects have many premonitory symptoms. We attempted to make a computer aided adverse effect informing program to assist pharmacists. This program arranges the symptoms according to their order of importance, and gives the probable information of adverse effect, which is not mentioned in the package leaflet. The most frequent and common premonitory symptoms of adverse effect were suggested to be fever and fatigue as a result of running the program when many individual patient prescription data were inputted.The incorporation of this program into the computer system that manages the patient's medicine history will be useful for pharmacists to inform patients of understandable premonitory symptoms and to monitor any potential adverse effect.

When a novel additional adverse effect is reported for a marketed medicine, the medical information leaflet has to be revised to inform physicians and pharmacists of this. Pharmacists are responsible for informing patients of early warning symptoms to avoid the subsequent appearance of severe adverse effects. However, at present, patients may suffer from severe adverse events because such symptoms may remain unrecognized until the medicine is on the market. As a result, investigations to predict and prevent novel additional adverse effects of medicines are required. In this study, we investigated a novel additional adverse effect classified as a pharmacological effect based on the drug safety update (DSU). As a result, skin disorders including toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens Johnson syndrome, and pseudomembranous colitis have become evident as additional adverse effects of antibiotics, with a high incidence. In addition, neuroleptic malignant syndrome and aplastic anemia have also been reported as adverse effects of central nervous system agents.Therefore, it is important to provide patients with information about the early warning symptoms related to such adverse effects, even though such adverse effects are not contained in the patient information leaflet.
