Long-term toxicity testing in domestic rabbits showed that after SFI was administered for 90 days, the animals in each dosing group showed no chronic toxic reactions. Among 20 100 cases observed, the incidence of an ADR was 1.85‰. From March to November 2013,of the leading institutions and 22 sub-centers involved in the post-marketing clinical safety intensive hospital monitoring, 21 units completed 8484 cases of monitoring, and reported 23 cases of adverse reactions. No damage to renal function was found using SFI ata dosageanda treatment course larger and longer than that recommended for the adjuvant treatment of tumors. This could reduce the mortality rate of admitted patients based on the analysis of the data provided by the HIS. A total of 16 clinical case reports of adverse reactions related to SFI in 1999-2012 were obtained through literature retrieval. These reports contained information concerning 17 cases, with adverse reaction symptoms including thrombocytopenia, rash,chills,feeling cold,palpitation,dyspnea,edemaofa lower extremity, palpebral edema, and superficial vein in flammation,among others.CONCLUSION: This study introduces "get full access" to the flow of information on medicines regarding their ADR incidence rate and characteristics and factors.It supports the safety of SFI for clinical, research, and production uses based on objec-tive, reliable, and scientific information to provide safe medication.展开更多
