Beardsley Material Flashcards
High risk patients for drug interactions
elderly, young, sick, multiple diseases, multiple drug therapies, renal or liver impairment
What are three general classes of drug-drug interactions?
- Preadmin
- Pharmacokinetic
- Pharmacodynamic
What are two characteristics of high risk drugs for interactions?
- Low (narrow) therapeutic index
2. Recognized enzyme inhibitor or inducer
What are 4 types of pharmacokinetic drug interactions?
- Drug absorption
- Drug displacement (protein binding)
- Drug biotransformation (metabolic)
- Drug excretion (from cells or body)
What are 5 general mechanisms of drug absorption interactions?
- Change in GI pH
- Drug binding in GI tract
- Change in GI flora
- Change in GI motility
- Malabsorption caused by other drugs
What happens if tetracyclines and quinolone antibiotics are taken with calcium food, vitamins and supplements?
Chelate the divalent and trivalent cationsto make acomplex that is poorly absorbed
If you administer Warfarin and NSAIDs together, their competition for protein receptors causes what?
More warfarin to be active
If a drug is an enzyme inducer, it will do what to the other drug?
Decrease its effects
If a drug is an enyzme inhibitor, it will do what to the other drug?
Increase its effects
What do all parts of CYP450 nomenclature mean?
Cyp = superfamily/ 3 - family/ A = subfamily / 4 = individual gene
Cytochrome enzyme involved in the greatest number of drug biotransformations
CYP3A4
5 CYP enzymes responsible for drug metabolism
CYP2E1 CYP1A2 CYP2C9 CYP2D6 CYP3A4
Where is the cytochrome P450 system located?
The lipid bilayer of smooth ER and hepatocytes in liver and enterocytes of small intestine
What CYP450 enzyme will ciprofloxacin inhibit, and what drugs can then potentiate?
CYP1A2, tacrine, theophylline, imipramine, flu
Which drug would be potentiated if CYP1A2 was inhibited by erythromycin?
Theophylline
Grapefruit juice inhibits which CYP450 enzyme?
CYP34A
2 Drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 where the inhibition of the enzyme decreases the drugs’ net effects
- Tramadol
2. Codeine
What are 2 kinds of general drug excretion interactions?
- One drug impairs the renal excretion of another
2. Affects on permeability of the glycoprotein
What occurs if thiazide diuretics are given to someone on Lithium?
Will cause lithium to be retained and accumulated
Which CYP 450 is affected by the same drugs that PGP is?
CYP 34A
What are 2 possible specific interactions that opiates can have with local anesthetics?
- Opiate induced respiratory acidosis
2. Elevation arterial carbon dioxide tensions leading to convlusions
Drugs to be aware of when administering prilocaine to minimize the induction of methemoglobinemia
- Nitroglycerine
- Dapsone
- Solfonamides
- Phenacetin
Possible side effect of giving patient epinephrine while on a beta blocker
Their B2 vasodilation is blocked and EPI stimulates the A1 vasoconstrictors unopposed causing hypertension
What is a concern for a patient taking NSAIDS and SSRIs?
Increased bleeding risk due to decreased platelet aggregation
