Arthritis Care and Research , 09/30/09
Kling A et al. – Joint disorders were considerably more frequently reported ADRs of 5-HT2A-blocking antidepressants than of other comparable drugs, suggesting a possible association between the use of 5-HT2A-blocking antidepressants and joint disorders.
Methods- Retrospective study
- In the Swedish material, the 5-HT2A antagonists were 45 times more often reported to give joint ADRs when related to sales figures and compared with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
- Joint disorders constituted 6.6% of the total number of reports of possible ADRs for the three 5-HT2A-blocking substances mianserin, mirtazapine, and nefazodone compared with 0.5% for the SSRIs; in the WHO material, the joint disorders constituted 1.3% of all ADRs for the 5-HT2A-blocking antidepressants and 0.6% for the SSRIs
