Abstract

Background: Adverse event studies of favipiravir use in treating COVID-19 have been ongoing since it was established as a treatment option. A better understanding of the side effects of favipiravir from recent studies is important in developing and assessing the recognition of effective treatments for COVID-19. Method: This was a systematic review based on studies and case reports on favipiravir monotherapy in COVID-19. Access to the included studies was gained via PubMed, SCOPUS, Science Direct, SpringerLink, and MedRxiv. Results: Twelve studies consisting of eight studies and four case reports were reviewed. The most common side effects were diarrhea, elevated liver enzyme levels, and hyperuricemia. None of which were significantly different from the comparison. Currently, various adverse event were reported in case reports such as drug fever,acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and transient increase in viral load. The side effects would mostly be subsided after the treatment was discontinued.Conclusion: The use of favipiravir to treat COVID-19 caused dose-related side effects such as diarrhea, changes in liver enzymes, and increased level of uric acid. There were no serious side effectscompared to other antiviral drugs. To improve the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 therapy, it is important to prepare an incidence report of antiviral adverse events in special populations such as children, pregnant women, and  patients with organ dysfunction.

Abstract

Background: An inhaler is a type of dosage form used in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The inhaler has a unique technique for use; however, the percentage of accuracy in inhaler use is still low. Proper inhaler use is expected to improve quality of life and decrease the occurrence of exacerbations. This study aimed to observe the percentage of accuracy in using inhalers and the factors that influence it.Method: This study was conducted with a cross-sectional design on COPD patients in two different hospitals. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire. The accuracy of inhaler use was assessed using a checklist.Results: The total number of patients in this study was 110, with an average age of 62 years. Patients were given single inhaler therapy, which included Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI) for 34 patients with 70.7% accuracy, Pressurized Metered-Dose Inhalers (pMDI) for 9 persons with 45.74% accuracy, and Soft Mist Inhalers (SMI) for one person with 66.67% accuracy. Furthermore, patients who used a combination of pMDI and DPI inhalers had an accuracy value of 68.53%, while a combination of pMDI and SMI had an accuracy value of 72.72%. The stage with the lowest level of accuracy in the pMDI-type inhaler used alone was exhaling before the inhaler was supplied.Conclusion:  According to the findings, the accuracy of inhaler use in COPD patients is still relatively low. Furthermore, gender is a factor that has a statistically significant relationship with inhaler accuracy.
