Radiological Changes

Pulmonary drug toxicity is being increasingly recognized as a cause of various forms of lung disease. The spectrum of disease can range from transient, minor reactions to rapidly progressive disease with fatal consequences. A large number of drugs are linked to pulmonary disease; however, causality is often difficult to establish, because the length of the latency period between exposure and the onset of disease can vary and because there can be discordance between symptom development and the appearance of radiological changes, which may not be present at all (e.g. angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors can cause cough-related airways disease in the absence of radiological change).

Respiratory Conditions

Drug-induced lung disease is common and needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of many respiratory conditions. The nature and timing of events often provide important clues and are sometimes sufficiently characteristic for drug-induced lung disease to be diagnosed with confidence, with resolution of symptoms on drug cessation providing further supportive evidence. Direct drug effects may arise through toxic, pharmacological, allergic, or idiosyncratic mechanisms (there may also be indirect effects). From a clinical perspective, adverse effects may be classified according to the induced disorder and the site of involvement. Asthma is the most common airway disorder to be induced or exacerbated by drugs. Cough is a well-recognized side effect of treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Pulmonary vascular involvement includes venous thromboembolism (e.g. oral contraceptive pill), and pulmonary hypertension (e.g. aminorex, now withdrawn), dasatinib, and interferons. Pleural effusions and thickening may result from drugs (e.g. dantrolene, bromocriptine, methysergide, and dasatinib).

Meta Analyses

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide and in Russia. Therefore, the question of safe and rational drug therapy is acute. But, like most drugs, drugs for the treatment of CVD have a number of adverse reactions, in particular, the development of acute pancreatitis. This adverse reactions can be both dose-dependent and depend on the duration of administration of these groups of drugs. The purpose of this review is to analyze the literature data on drugs intended for the treatment of СVD that can lead to the development of drug-induced pancreatitis (LIP), on the mechanisms of development of this pathology against the background of taking specific drugs, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The development of LIP is associated with the use of diuretics, both loop (furosemide, etacric acid, bumetamide), and thiazide/thiazide-like (chlorothiazide, hydrochlorothiazide and chlorthalidone), antihypertensive drugs of central action (methyldopa), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers, statins, antiarrhythmic drugs (amiodarone, procainamide). Literature data on the development of LIP are presented in most publications with the description of clinical case/series of cases, however, in the case of LIP associated with the use of ACEI and statins, there are also data from cohort, retrospective observational, prospective case-control, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analyses. With timely diagnosis, and the cancellation of drugs that have caused the development of OP, the symptoms of the disease regress until they completely disappear and develop serious consequences.

Effect Of Treatment

Since the recognition of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)-induced cough, drug has been considered as a potential cause of chronic cough. This review presents recent knowledge on drug-induced coughs in patients with chronic cough. The focus is placed on ACEIs, for which there are a multitude of studies documenting their associations with cough. Additional drugs are discussed for which there are reports of cough as a side effect of treatment, and the potential mechanisms of these effects are discussed.

Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Introduction. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are leading cause of drug-induced angioedema, with incidence of 0.1 to 0.2%. The angioedema is not of immune nature; in predisposed individuals it is caused by accumulation of vasoactive mediators due to reduced activity of angiotensinconverting enzyme. Case report. We presented a 63-year old male patient suffering from hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, who had developed two episodes of angioedema during a 5-year long therapy with enalapril. The first episode happened after three, and the second after five years of the therapy. On both occasions, the patient was admitted to the hospital and tracheotomy was avoided in the last moment. Conclusion. Long-term therapy with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors could be associated with delayed angioedema, especially in patients with inflammation of airways caused by infection or chronic irritation.

Medical Disorders

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are the leading cause of drug-induced angioedema in the United States because these drugs are widely prescribed for several common medical disorders. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors cause angioedema in 0.1 to 0.7 percent of recipients. When prescribing ACE-inhibitors to patients, angioedema should always be considered as a potential adverse reaction during treatment.
