MONITORING ADVERSE EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH DAPAGLIFLOZIN TREATMENT IN TYPE 2 DIABETES PATIENTS: A POST-MARKETING SURVEILANCE PROGRAM IN VIETNAM
Main Article Content
Abstract
To provide more evidence on the safety profile of dapagliflozin (ForxigaTM) in real-life settings, eight hospitals across Vietnam were involved to implement a post marketing surveillance program. Among 1001 subjects, 278 patients (27.8%) experienced at least 1 adverse event (AE) during 24 weeks of follow-up, 5 of those (0,5%) were serious adverse events (SAEs) and 29 (2.9%) led to modification of dapagliflozin treatment. Arthritis (2.4%) and hepatic enzyme increased (2.4%) were the most common, followed by urinary tract infection (1.9%). However, only 120 (12.0%) AEs were evaluated as dapagliflozin-related adverse events. The results revealed that dapagliflozin was well tolerated in Vietnamese adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Besides the databases of spontaneous ADR reports, this study provides additional data and did not find any new or significant risks of dapagliflozin (Forxiga), supporting its safety profile for the future users in Vietnam.
