ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study aimed to elucidate the scope and nature of adverse events (AEs) associated with Yasmin.METHODS:
Among the 17,035,572 AE reports collected from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database between January 2004 and September 2023, 25,949 reports involved Yasmin. The demographic details, clinical outcomes, and sources of reports were extracted, and four algorithms were used to evaluate adverse drug reactions.RESULTS:
The majority of the AE reports involved females aged 18-45 years. Hospitalization was the most frequently reported serious outcome (46.84 %), with death occurring in 292 patients (1.82 %). The highest number of reports originated from the United States. Adverse reactions spanned across 24 system organ categories (SOCs), and hepatobiliary, vascular, and psychiatric disorders were the most frequently reported AEs. A total of 229 Preferred Terms (PTs) were identified for adverse reactions, with high signal strength observed for conditions such as post-cholecystectomy syndrome. In addition, fear of disease, which has not been previously identified as an AE related to Yasmin, was also identified as a high signal strength side effect.CONCLUSION:
The findings of the present study underscore the importance of monitoring and identifying potential AEs in patients receiving Yasmin, including those not currently listed in the medication instructions.
