Drug Interactions with Grapefruit JuiceDrug Safety - Tập 18 - Trang 251-272 - 2012
Uwe Fuhr
Concomitant intake with grapefruit juice increases the concentrations of many drugs in humans. The effect seems to be mediated mainly by suppression of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4 in the small intestine wall. This results in a diminished first pass metabolism with higher bioavailability and increased maximal plasma concentrations of substrates of this enzyme. The effect was most pronounced i...... hiện toàn bộ

Background: After market approval, new serious safety issues are regularly identified for drugs that lead to regulatory action to inform healthcare professionals. However, the effectiveness of these safety-related regulatory actions is under question. We currently lack a comprehensive overview of the effects of these drug safety warnings on clinical practice to resolve the debate ...... hiện toàn bộ
Managing Antipsychotic-Induced Tardive DyskinesiaDrug Safety - Tập 20 - Trang 187-193 - 2012
George Gardos
Antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia is a common and clinically significant hazard of long term antipsychotic therapy. The arrival of atypical antipsy-chotics has markedly improved the outlook: atypical antipsychotics are emerging as effective treatments and may also reduce the prevalence and incidence of tardive dyskinesia. In mild cases, careful monitoring of tardive dyskinesia by serial Abn...... hiện toàn bộ
