Are dose-dependent and predictable (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type A (Exaggerated pharmacological response)
Are extensions of the drug’s pharmacological effect (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type A (Exaggerated pharmacological response)
Bronchospasm from beta-blockers (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type A (Exaggerated pharmacological response)
Deafness from aminoglycoside overdose (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type A (Exaggerated pharmacological response)
Are unpredictable and not dose-dependent (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type B (Nonpharmacological, often allergic, response)
Are often related to immunological reactions or genetic predispositions (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type B (Nonpharmacological, often allergic, response)
Medicine-induced diseases (ex. antibiotic-associated colitis) (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type B (Nonpharmacological, often allergic, response)
Allergic reactions (ex. penicillin anaphylaxis) (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type B (Nonpharmacological, often allergic, response)
Idiosyncratic reactions (ex. aplastic anemia with chloramphenicol) (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type B (Nonpharmacological, often allergic, response)
Related to cumulative dose or long-term exposure (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type C (Continuous or long term/Time related)
Osteoporosis with oral steroids (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type C (Continuous or long term/time related)
Are delayed effects, often carcinogenic or teratogenic (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type D (Delayed/Lag time)
Teratogenic effects with anticonvulsants or lisinopril (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type D (Delayed/lag time)
These occur upon withdrawal of the drug (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type E (Ending of use/withdrawal)
Withdrawal syndrome with benzodiazepines (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type E (Ending of use/withdrawal)
This occurs when the drug fails to produce the desired effect (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type F (Failure of efficacy/No response)
Resistance to antimicrobials (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type F (Failure of efficacy/No response)
A patient receives an injection of penicillin and develops hives, facial swelling, and difficulty breathing (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type B (Nonpharmacologic, often allergic, response)
Pregnant women who took thalidomide in the 1960s gave birth to children with phocomelia (Types of patient injury caused by medicine)
Type D (Delayed/lag time)
