FRÆÐIGREINAR / ALVARLEGAR AUKAVERKANIR KÍNÍNS
Höfundar þessarar greinar tilkynntu Lyfjastofnun
formlega um tilfellin í janúar á þessu ári og í kjölfarið
var tekin ákvörðun um að afturkalla heimild til
lausasölu kíníns. Þetia verður að teljast skynsamleg
ráðstöfun í ljósi þeirra alvarlegu aukaverkana sem
lyfið getur valdið.
Þótt ekki sé lengur völ á kíníni í lausasölu er lík-
legt að notkun lyfsins verði áfram umtalsverð og er
nauðsynlegt að læknar sem ávísa lyfinu til að fyrir-
byggja vöðvakrampa í ganglimum ígrundi vel ávinn-
ing og áhættu og séu á verði gegn aukaverkunum
þess. Sú takmörkun á aðgengi sem felst í stöðvun á
lausasölu kíníns hefur þó ekki áhrif á útsetningu fólks
fyrir kíníni í neysludrykkjum. Loks er mikilvægt að
vara almenning við aukaverkunum kíníns og íhuga
ætti prentun upplýsinga um þær á umbúðir Iyfsins og
á ílát drykkja sem innihalda þetta efni.
Þakkir
Höfundar þakka Ingu Skaftadóttur líffræðingi, Ónæm-
isfræðideild Landspítala, fyrir greiningu kínínháðra
mótefna í sermi.
