2 Monitoring Patients for TB Meds Adverse Reactions and Managing Side Effects Catalina Navarro RN BSN TB Nurse Consultant/Educator Objectives Describe the monitoring process for adverse drug events Discuss side effects and drug toxicities Recognize the most common adverse drug events Discuss the nursing interventions and medical management of the most common adverse drug events 2

3 Goals of TB Treatment Cure the patient Minimize the risk of death & disability Reduce transmission NOTE: Responsibility of successful treatment is assigned to the health care provider NOT THE PATIENT Purpose of Monitoring Patient Recognize adverse drug events Assess appropriately Intervene rapidly Prevent further morbidity/mortality Minimize treatment interruptions Reduce opportunities for medical mismanagement Avoid development of psychological intolerance Support adherence and the therapeutic relationship 3

4 Side Effects Occur in addition to the desired therapeutic effect Unpleasant, but mild reactions No long lasting health effects Do not usually require changes in therapy Adverse Drug Reaction More serious May be life threatening Require modifying the dose/discontinuation of drug May require additional therapy and/or hospitalization 4

5 Side Effects Adverse Drug Reaction Gas Bloating Mild nausea Discoloration of body fluids Irritability Difficulty sleeping Photosensitivity Significant GI disturbances Dermatologic/ hypersensitivity reactions Ophthalmic toxicity CNS toxicity Neurotoxicity Ototoxicity Musculoskeletal Renal toxicity All Medications Have Side Effects Most TB patients complete their treatment without any significant adverse drug effects Risk/Benefit ratio of medication used Explain beneficial effects of medications and possible side effects/adverse events The benefits provided by the medicine worth the risk 5

6 ? Possible side effects of acetaminophen Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop taking this medication and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as: low fever with nausea, stomach pain, and loss of appetite; dark urine, clay-colored stools; or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA. Benefits Vs. Risks 6

7 Don t Forget: Explain to patient that there will be side effects to the medications - but you will work with them to manage them Patient education & charting of education First-line Drugs Isoniazid (INH) Rifampin (RIF) Rifabutin Ethambutol (EMB) Pyrazinamide (PZA) 7

12 Monitoring Gastrointestinal (GI) Upset Evaluate the interventions Nausea decreased? Persistent throughout the day? May need to stop the offending medication Is there an adequate replacement? If no, patient may need to tolerate some n/v. If yes, consider switching medication May need expert consultation before switching meds Hepatotoxicity 12

13 Hepatotoxicity with First Line Drugs INH G.I. upset Peripheral neuropathy Mild CNS Toxicity PZA G.I. upset Arthralgias Gout (rare Rifampin G.I. upset Thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia Renal toxicity Flu-like syndrome Orange staining of body fluids Ethambutol Optic Neuritis Rifabutin /Skin discoloration Leukopenia Thrombocytopenia Uveitis Arthralgias Hepatotoxicity Early Signs Fatigue Poor appetite Taste alteration Nausea Abdominal discomfort Bloating Minimal rash Later Signs Vomiting Abdominal pain Jaundice Change in color of urine and stool Changes in behavior, memory loss 13

15 Monitoring Medical history Preexisting conditions may increase hepatotoxicity History of Hepatitis B or C History of other liver disease Social history ETOH use (be specific) Educate patient of signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity Managing Hepatotoxicity Check Liver Function Test (LFT) at baseline and monthly Stop therapy LFT s> 3 times upper limit of normal and symptomatic LFTs> 5 times upper limit of normal and asymptomatic 15

16 Re-Challenge Restarting therapy LFT s must be < 2 times upper limit of normal Rechallenge Medications Introduce one drug at a time Monitor enzymes carefully Stop therapy if symptomatic or increased enzymes Eliminate last drug added from regimen 16

28 Case Study EMB Side Effects What Toxicities is a patient on EMB at risk for? Optic Neuritis Decreased visual acuity Decreased red-green color discrimination Case Study Vision Monitoring What baseline testing should you do for your patient who is starting EMB? Visual Acuity (Snellen) Ishihara 28

29 Case Study - Ophthalmic Toxicity 5 months after treatment initiation patient c/o difficulty driving and reading road signs As a nurse managing this patient s anti-tb therapy, what would you do? To assess vision screen Stop the EMB Refer to the Ophthalmologist Case Study Follow Up Patient contacted nurse by phone, she instructed him to see his eye doctor.

30 Case Study Visual Monitoring Results 7 months on anti-tb therapy he complains of worsening vision. Nurse finally assess his vision Baseline visual acuity in October: 20/20 both eyes Follow up visual acuity: 20/200 in both eyes. EMB was discontinued Pt. continued on RIF, PZA Levofloxacin was added to complete 9 mo of treatment Referral to a retinal specialist. Case Study Conclusion During the last two months of treatment pt evaluated by retinal specialist DX: EMB optic neuropathy Central scotoma on right and parascotoma on left Vision uncorrected: 20/200 Nurse admitted to not performing visual acuity screening (Snellen chart), she only did color discrimination testing (Ishihara plates) 30
