HYPERSENSITIVITY
REACTION
CONTINUOUS
- uncommon
- dose- & time-related
- associated with the cumulative
dose of the drug
CONTINUOUS
Subtypes:
1. Addiction
- condition where a person takes a drug

3. Tolerance

drug; need for higher doses to
produce the same effect
- example: Nicotine
DELAYED
Subtypes:
1. Carcinogenicity
- ability of any substance to cause or induce cancer
- examples:
antineoplastic agents
heterocyclic amines
aromatic hydrocarbons
nitrosamines
aflatoxin
DELAYED
2. Teratogenicity
- ability of any substance to cause congenital
malformations or birth defects
- examples:
Carbamazepine & Valproic acid (neural tube
defects)
Diethylstilbestrol (increased risk of developing
vaginal adenocarcinoma after puberty)
DELAYED
END OF USE
- uncommon
- withdrawal symptoms
- generally occur shortly
after stopping the drug
END OF USE
examples:
1) opiate withdrawal
2) rebound insomnia & excitation (Benzodiazepine)
3) rebound hypertension (Clonidine)
4) Rhinitis medicamentosa (nasal decongestant)
5) adrenal crisis (Addison’s disease)(steroids)
