Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] tedavisinde kullanılan antiviral, antibakteriyel ve immünomodülatör etkili ilaçların, kombinasyon şeklinde veya monoterapi olarak kullanımında görülen yan etkilerinin sıklığını belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, COVID-19 tanısı ile hidroksiklorokin, makrolid ve favipiravir tedavilerini monoterapi veya kombinasyon şeklinde almış olan hastalar, yan etki gelişimi açısından değerlendirildi. Hastaların demografik ve klinik verileri, aldıkları diğer tedaviler ve gelişen yan etkiler kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışma süresi boyunca, 337 hastanın verileri incelendi. Hastaların medyan yaşı 56 (19-94) idi ve 184'ü (%54,6) erkekti. Hipertansiyon en sık (%29,9) eşlik eden komorbidite idi. Pnömoni saptanan 272 (%80,7) hastanın 210'unda (%62,3) yaygın infiltrasyon saptandı. Hastaların 18'i (%5,3) yalnız hidroksiklorokin, 86'sı (%25,5) yalnız makrolid, 193'ü (%57,3) hidroksiklorokin ve makrolid, 40'ı (%11,9) ise hidroksiklorokin, makrolid ve favipiravir 3'lü kombinasyonunu almıştı. Hidroksiklorokin monoterapisi alan 2 (%11,1) hastada, makrolid monoterapisi alan 4 (%4,7) hastada, hidroksiklorokin-makrolid kombinasyonu alan 55 (%28,5) hastada ve hidroksiklorokin-makrolid-favipiravir kombinasyonu alan 4 (%10,0) hastada yan etki kaydı mevcut idi. Hidroksiklorokin ve makrolid kombinasyonu alan grupta en sık (%12,9) görülen yan etkinin QT uzaması olduğu gözlemlendi. En sık (%7,3) görülen gastrointestinal sistem yan etkisinin ise bulantı olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: COVID-19 tedavisi için kullanılan antiviral, antibakteriyel ve immünomodülatör ilaçların kombinasyon şeklinde kullanılması hâlinde yan etki gelişiminin sıklığı artmaktadır.

Objective: It is aimed to determine the frequency of side effects seen in the use of antiviral, antibacterial and immunomodulatory drugs used in the treatment of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in combination or monotherapy. Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 who received hydroxychloroquine, macrolide, and favipiravir treatments in combination or monotherapy were evaluated in terms of the development of side effects. Demographic and clinical data of the patients, other treatments they received and the side effects that occurred were recorded. Results: During the study period, data from 337 patients were analyzed. The median age of the patients was 56 (19-94), and 184 (54.6%) were male. Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (29.9%). Diffuse infiltration was detected in 210 (62.3%) of 272 (80.7%) patients with pneumonia. Eighteen (5.3%) patients received only hydroxychloroquine, 86 (25.5%) had only macrolide, 193 (57.3%) had hydroxychloroquine and macrolide, and 40 (11.9%) had hydroxychloroquine, macrolide and favipiravir triple combination. Side effects were observed in 2 (11.1%) patients receiving hydroxychloroquine monotherapy, 4 (4.7%) patients receiving macrolide monotherapy, 55 (28.5%) patients receiving hydroxychloroquine-macrolide combination, and 4 (10.0%) patients receiving hydroxychloroquine-macrolidefavipiravir combination. It was observed that the most common (12.9%) side effect in the group receiving the combination of hydroxychloroquine and macrolide was QT prolongation. The most common (7.3%) side effect of the gastrointestinal system was found to be nausea. Conclusion: The frequency of side effects increases when antiviral, antibacterial and immunomodulatory drugs used for the treatment of COVID-19 are used in combination.
