Arthralgia and myalgia may however be observed although not mentioned in the summary of product characteristics. OBJECTIVE: Description and analysis of cases of pristinamycin-induced arthralgia and/or myalgia registered in the French database of pharmacovigilance. METHODS: We carried out a targeted search of the database, selecting case patients presenting with arthralgia and muscle pain and excluding those associated with sensitivities or allergies to pristinamycin. RESULTS: We retrieved 15 case patients of pristinamycin-induced arthralgia and myalgia. Pristinamycin was the only potentially incriminated drug for seven case patients. CONCLUSIONS: Although not serious, this adverse effect deserves to be better known by physicians to optimize therapeutic management.Show less >
