Determination of side effects and medication adherence in major depression patients utilized antidepressants
Abstract
The aim of the study is to
determine side effects, and medication adherence
in patients who were diagnosed with major
depression utilized antidepressants. This study was conducted in outpatient psychiatry clinic between February
2013 and May 2013. ‘Toronto Side Effects
Scale’ and 4-item Morisky-Green- Levine
Medication Adherence Scale were evaluated. Fifty-six major depression patients (mean of age: 40.82
± 14.28 years old; male/female: 13/43)
were included in this study. Patients were
treated with escitalopram (46.4%), sertraline (26.8%), venlafaxine (10.7%), citalopram (8.9%) and
paroxetine (7.1%). The most common side
effects that patients reported were drowsiness/
daytime somnolence (57.1%), dry mouth (46.4%)
and increased sleep (46.4%), increased appetite (37.5%) and malaise or fatigue (30.4%). The most severity
side effects that patients experienced
were drowsiness/ daytime somnolence (25%),
increased sleep (19.6%) and decreased libido (14.3%). Only fifteen (26.8%) patients were found high
adherent to their medication. It was
concluded that although the frequency and
severity of side effects have been found high, the percentage of patients’ medication adherence has been
obtained low. Patient education and
monitoring regarding side effects and medication adherence providing by pharmacists would be
contributed to prevent possible drug
induced problems in these patients besides
the routine services they are taken from outpatient clinic.

Antidepresan Kullanan Majör Depresyon Hastalarında Yan Etkilerin ve Hasta Uyuncunun Değerlendirilmesi
Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı, antidepresan
kullanan majör depresyon hastalarında
yan etkilerin ve hasta uyuncunun değerlendirilmesidir.
Çalışma Şubat-Mayıs 2013 tarihleri arasında
bir psikiyatri polikliniğinde yürütülmüştür. Yan etkilerin tespiti için “Toronto Yan Etki
Ölçeği”, tedaviye uyuncun belirlenmesi
için ise “Morisky Green Levine Uyunç Ölçeği”
kullanılmıştır. Çalışma 56 majör depresyon tanısı alan hasta ile (yaş ortalaması: 40,82 ± 14,28;
erkek/kadın: 13/43) tamamlanmıştır.
Hastalar depresyon tedavisi için essitalopram
(% 46,4), sertralin (% 26,8), venlafaksin (% 10,7), sitalopram (% 8,9) ve paroksetin (%7,1) kullanmaktaydı.
Hastaların en yaygın bildirdiği yan
etkilerin sersemlik/gündüz uykuya eğilim
(% 57,1), ağız kuruluğu (% 46,4), uykuda artış (% 46,4), iştah artması (% 37,5) ve halsizlik veya yorgunluk
(% 30,4) olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Hastaların yaşadıkları bu yan etkiler şiddet
derecesine göre değerlendirildiğinde ilk sıraları sersemlik/ gündüz uykuya eğilim (% 25,0), uykuda artış
(% 19,6) ve libido azalması (% 14,3) yan
etkilerinin aldığı gözlenmiştir. Çalışmaya
katılan hastaların sadece % 26,8’inin ilaçlarına uyunç oranlarının yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Antidepresan
kullanan hastalarda görülen yan etki
sıklığının ve şiddetinin yüksek olduğu ve
ayrıca hastaların ilaç uyunç oranlarının düşük olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu hastaların poliklinikten
aldıkları rutin hizmetin yanısıra
eczacılar tarafından yan etkiler ve uyunç konusunda eğitilmeleri ve izlenmeleri, ilaç kaynaklı
olası sorunların önüne geçilmesine katkı
sağlayacaktır.
