title: [Adverse reactions of tanshinone II(A) sodium sulfonate injection in treating 18 cases: an analysis of clinical features].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore clinical features the adverse reactions of Tanshinone II(A) Sodium Sulfonate Injection (T II(A) SSI) and their reasons, thus providing reference for rational medication.
  
  
  METHODS
  The literatures on adverse reactions and incompatibilities of T II(A) SSI were retrieved (domestic medical journals from January 2000 to December 2011) and statistically analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the 18 cases of adverse drug reaction (ADR), the clinical manifestations of T II(A) SSI induced adverse reactions were various, involving reactions of appendages and the neuromuscular system (each accounting for 50%). The elderly and women were mainly involved. Many organs and systems were involved. There existed more incompatibilities.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The medical workers should pay special attention to T II(A) SSI induced adverse reactions, thus avoiding recurrence of ADR, evading risks, and ensuring safe and rational medication.
