Abstract: Objective To analyze the rational uses and adverse reactions of protamine sulfate injection in the clinic, and to provide references for rational drug use. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 382 inpatients with application of protamine sulfate injection from January 2015 to February 2017 in a hospital, which were collected by China Hospital Pharmcovigilance System (CHPS), and analyzed the characters of the adverse drug reaction/event (ADR/ADE). Results There weren't obviously irrational medication orders except one case that the patient was treated with a single dose of 300 mg protamine sulfate. 8 cases of ADR were obtained, and they were mainly hypotension. And 2 cases of severe ADR were anaphylactic shock and myocardium inhibition. A new batch of the protamine sulfate and dose reduction had positive effects on preventing adverse reactions. Conclusion The use of protamine sulfate injection in this hospital was basically rational, and the ADRs were mainly hypotension. In order to assess the risk of medication and promote clinical rational use of drugs, medical staff should strengthen to write treatment details and actively report ADRs.

Key words: protamine sulfate injection, adverse drug reaction, rational use of drug
