澳洲治療商品管理局(TGA)正在召回藥房裡銷售的幾十種咳嗽藥,原因是含有可能危及生命的成分——酚可定(pholcodine)。
據9News報道,治療商品管理局禁止了55種含有酚可定的註冊產品,包括止咳糖漿和潤喉糖。因為這種成分與全身麻醉劑混合使用時,會導致病人出現過敏性休克。TGA已知有50個案例,其中一人死亡。
TGA負責人John Skerritt教授說,「如果你將需要全身麻醉手術,並且在過去12個月內服用過酚可定,我建議你告訴你的醫生。
“衛生專業人員還應該檢查,準備接受全身麻醉的病人在過去12個月內是否服用過酚可定。
“幸運的是,有更安全的替代品來治療乾咳,消費者應該向他們的醫生或藥劑師徵求意見。”Skerritt說。
酚可定主要用於咳嗽糖漿,如Benadryl、Codral乾咳糖漿、Amcal乾咳混合糖漿、Bisolvon、Chemsit’s Own干癢咳嗽糖漿、Terry White咳嗽糖漿,以及一系列其他糖漿和潤喉糖。
一些治療感冒和流感症狀的產品中也含有酚可定。
澳大利亞藥學協會的全國主席Trent Twomey教授建議患者尋找替代產品。”病人應該檢查他們家裡的所有非處方藥的標籤。如果發現他們的藥品確實含有酚可定,他們應該請藥劑師推薦一種替代品,”他說。
在歐洲藥品管理局的審查證明服用酚可定有 “風險因素 “之後,TGA在澳洲禁止了這些產品。
