Abstract: Objective To analyze the characteristics of granulocytopenia induced by thiamazole, so as to provide reference for clinical safe and rational drug use. Methods Retrospective study was conducted on the statistical analysis of granulocytopenia induced by thiamazole that received by the national adverse drug reactions monitoring database from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2016. Results Among 1 358 cases of granulocytopenia induced by thiamazole, the proporation of the serious adverse drug reactions(ADRs) was 48.53%, female patients were 3.93 times that of male patients, the most of patients were 15 to 44 years old, it occurred within 12 weeks accounting for 87.56%, and there may be a dose correlation in the occurrence of ADRs. Clinical manifestations were mainly the blood system damage, systemic damage and respiratory damage. Conclusion Granulocytopenia induced by thiamazole can't be ignored. The clinic should pay attention to usage and dosage. The education of patients, the blood monitoring before and after treatment should be strengthened. Doctors should actively take treatment measures to reduce the injury if it happened, so as to prevent or reduce the occurrence of serious adverse drug reactions.
