[Psychic effects of drugs prescribed for hypertensive patients. An experiment of the Regional Drug Monitoring Center in Marseilles].

The authors present typical observations of behavioural adverse effects induced by anti-hypertensive drugs and reported to the Marseilles Regional Center of Pharmacovigilance. These effects include: sleep disorders, confusion, psychotic reactions and depression. Surprisingly, these effects seem to be very rarely reported; this is perhaps due to a tricky assessment of the causal relationship: many factors (hypertension, other diseases, other drugs) can have an influence on these troubles.

[Transdermal scopolamine and mydriasis].

The authors report five cases of mydriasis induced by the use of transdermal scopolamine delivery systems. Anisocoria and narrow angle glaucoma were involved in four cases; in one case, the use of a strong dosage resulted in a bilateral mydriasis in a child.

[Spontaneous rupture of the spleen under ticlopidine. Apropos of two cases].

We observed two cases of spontaneous rupture of an apparently healthy spleen in two patients who were taking ticlopidine as anti-platelet aggregation treatment. The notion that the spleen was apparently healthy was based on well-defined criteria, essential for the imputability of the spontaneous lesions. In general drug-induced spontaneous ruptures of the spleen have been reported for anticoagulants but no case due to antiplatelet aggregation has been reported to our knowledge. The analysis of these two cases and a review of the recent literature suggests that ticlopidine was the causal agent in these two cases of splenic rupture.

[A surveillance method for products used by drug addicts examined in emergency units].

Products used in a toxicomaniac way are in rapid change, and different from different area. Users too have to be better known. Authors present a simple survey method of these products, based on sample use. First results seem to be correct. These method may be used, associated with others, in a network as those existent for many years in the United States.
