Methods The involved 388 participants recruited by cluster random sampling techniques. Participants were interviewed a structured open- close-ended questionnaire. information obtained comprises...
Spontaneous adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting is the cornerstone of pharmacovigilance. ADR with Yellow Cards has tremendously improved pharmacovigilance drugs in many developed countries and its use advocated by World Health Organization (WHO). This study was aimed at investigating knowledge attitude doctors a teaching hospital Lagos, Nigeria on spontaneous to suggest possible ways improving this method reporting. A total 120 working Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH),...
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is on the increase globally with a high prevalence in children adults chronic illnesses. Many studies have evaluated epidemiology for developing countries but none has CAM aim this study was therefore to determine prevalence, pattern use, parental sources information, perceived benefits, cost, adverse effects epilepsy, sickle cell anaemia asthma Lagos, Nigeria.Parents epilepsy (122), (78) or (118) who presented consecutively paediatric...
Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is associated with development of acute hemolytic anemia in the setting oxidative stress, which can be caused by medication exposure. Regulatory agencies worldwide warn against use certain medications persons G6PD deficiency, but many cases, this information conflicting, and clinical evidence sparse. This guideline provides on using genotype as part diagnosis classifies that have been previously implicated unsafe individuals one or more...
Objectives: There are concerns with inappropriate prescribing of medicines among dentists especially antimicrobials. It is more concerning if this increases resistance rates. This study aimed to address by assessing patterns drugs prescribed for outpatients attending a hospital dental clinic in Nigeria. The findings will be used plan future interventions, particularly around antimicrobial prescribing, where there concerns.Methods and materials: Medical records patients the leading teaching...
A sound knowledge of pathophysiology a disease and clinical pharmacology therapeutics (CPT) drug is required for safe rational prescribing. The aim this study was therefore to assess how adequately the undergraduate CPT teaching had prepared interns in Nigeria prescribing retrospectively, know they wanted curriculum be modified so as improve appropriate effect internship training on ability also sought.A total 100 were randomly selected from Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH),...
Infantile colic is a self-limiting condition that distributed worldwide. It often misdiagnosed as an organic disease for which infant admitted to the hospital. Many studies have described aetiopathogenesis, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management of but none has evaluated self-medication infants with colic. The aim this study was therefore determine knowledge Nigerian mothers about colic, their home-based management, extent types medicines involved. prospective conducted at...
Pharmaceutical companies spend significant amount of resources on promotion influencing the prescribing behavior physicians. Drug can negatively impact rational prescribing, which may adversely affect quality patient care. However, little is known about these activities in Nigeria as most populous country Africa. We therefore aimed to explore nature encounters between Nigerian physicians and pharmaceutical sales representatives (PSRs), how influence habits.Cross-sectional questionnaire-based...
Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major public health problem affecting high proportion of infants and older children world-wide accounts for childhood morbidity mortality in the developing countries. The epidemiology PEM has been extensively studied globally management guidelines formulated by World Health Organization (WHO). A wide spectrum infections such as measles, malaria, acute respiratory tract infection, intestinal parasitosis, tuberculosis HIV/AIDS may complicate with two or...
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) may cause prolonged hospital admissions with high treatment costs. The burden of ADRs in children has never been evaluated Nigeria. incidence pediatric and the estimated cost over an 18-month period were determined this study. DESIGN SETTING: Prospective observational study on admitted to wards Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Nigeria, between July 2006 December 2007. METHODS: Each patient was assessed for throughout...
Background: Pharmaceutical drug promotion is a means of informing health professionals about new drugs. The approach often times unethical and inappropriate may promote irrational prescribing. Dearth information on impact pharmaceutical prescribing behaviour doctors in developing African countries has necessitated this study. We therefore aimed to determine the sources for working teaching hospital Nigeria assess self-reported their behaviour. Methods: A total 163 at University College...

This study aimed to determine current prevalence and H. infection with breastfeeding practices, nutritional status, recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) a group apparently healthy children adolescents Lagos, Nigeria. Methodology: was prospective hospital-based conducted at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital that involved 118 who came hospital for routine...
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are commonly involved in drug metabolism, and genetic variation the genes encoding CYPs associated with variable response. While genotype-guided therapy has been clinically implemented adults, these associations less well established for pediatric patients. In order to understand frequency of exposures drugs known CYP interactions, we compiled all actionable drug-CYP interactions a high level evidence using Clinical Pharmacogenomic Implementation Consortium...
Proper and adequate pharmacovigilance is lacking in children's drug therapy, especially developing countries. Therefore these children are at risk of adverse reactions to drugs as a result medication errors. Having better understanding the types error teaching hospital would be an important step toward quality improvement therapy.This study was aimed identifying errors most frequently committed paediatric outpatient prescriptions Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja suggest...
OBJECTIVE: There is paucity of data on paediatric medicine administration error (MAE) in developing countries. This study aimed to investigate the experience MAEs among nurses working public hospitals Lagos, Nigeria. DESIGN: A con
Drug-drug interactions are an important therapeutic challenge among human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients. Early recognition of drug-drug is important, but conflicts do exist drug compendia on interaction information. We aimed to evaluate the consistencies two information resources with regards severity rating and categorization potential between antiretroviral co-prescribed drugs.We reviewed case files children who were receiving treatment at virus (HIV) clinic Lagos University...
