Risk Factors for the Incidence of Overdose of Etoricoxib Drug in Outpatient at Hospital in Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly prescribed for the treatment of various inflammatory conditions. However, the risk of overdose associated with the use of etoricoxib in outpatient polyclinic settings remains a significant concern. This study aimed to investigate the potential risk factors contributing to the incidence of etoricoxib overdose in outpatient polyclinic patients. A retrospective observational study was conducted, analyzing data from medical records of patients who had experienced etoricoxib overdose in outpatient polyclinics. The study population included patients who had been prescribed etoricoxib and presented with signs of overdose. The analysis revealed several potential risk factors contributing to the incidence of etoricoxib overdose in outpatient polyclinic patients. Factors such as age, multiphatology and polypharmacy were found to be associated with an increased risk of overdose (P value = 0,001). Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of pharmacist intervention to reducing the risk of etoricoxib overdose in this clinical setting.
