Exposure to potentially harmful excipients in medications among neonates at a state hospital in Malaysia
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the incidence, types and predictors of Potentially Harmful Excipients (PHE) exposure among hospitalized neonates.
METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted from March to April 2022 in neonatal wards at a state hospital in Malaysia. The PHEs of interest were aspartame, benzalkonium chloride, benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid or benzoates, ethanol, parabens, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, saccharin sodium, sorbitol and sulfites. Product information leaflets (PILs) and summaries of product characteristics (SPCs) were referred to obtain information on active pharmaceutical ingredient, strength, trade name as well as type and amount of the excipients.
RESULTS: A total of 108 neonates were recruited and 97.2% of them were exposed to at least one PHE. Parabens (47.2%) and sulfites (27.5%) were the two most commonly administered PHEs. Benzyl alcohol is contraindicated in neonates but was administered to 8% of neonates in this study. The median daily dose of ethanol (24.11 mg/kg/day, IQR 19.73, 28.49) exceeded the acceptable daily intake (ADI) by four times. However, the dose was not available for all PHEs as this information is not always available in the PIL or SPC. Administration of cardiovascular drugs was associated with a higher risk of exposure to any PHE (OR 6.38, CI 2.75, 14.79, p-value < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The exposure of PHE among neonates in this study is high with certain PHEs exceeding the ADI. It highlights the need for certain strategies to be implemented to reduce such exposure in neonates.
