Q

Michaelis-mente Kinetics

A
  • Saturable kinetics
  • Starts as 1st order and as concentration increases above Km (concentration at which rate of metabolism is half max) rate of metabolism becomes mixed (first and zero), at even higher doses it becomes zero order

Example: phenytoin, theophylline, voriconazole

-Phenytoin has saturable kinetics even at therapeutic drug concentrations. Do small dose increase by 30-50mg if concentration >7mg/L (RR10-20 mcg/ml). In other words steady state concentration becomes very high causing toxicity.

Sms of phenytoin toxicity: slurred speech, fatigue,

Q

Half life and steady state

A

T1/2= 0.693/ke
Ke= Cl/Vd
Cl= (FxDose)/AUC
Vd=dosegiven/concentration

-Elimination half life: time for drug concentration to decrease by 50%. Depends on drug concentration in first order kinetics.
Steady state: rate if drug intake =rate of elimination. -Takes 5 half lives in first order kinetics with no loading dose
-5 lives to eliminate more than 95% of drug

Q

Warfarin metabolism?

Interacts with which inducers/inhibitors and what is the effect on INR?

A

CYP2C9
Strong inducer: Rifampin, dose of warfarin will have to be increased 100-300% time

String inhibitor: amiodarone, decrease warfarin dose by 30to 50%
How long does it take to see full effect of this interaction?

Q

Codeine/tramadol is a prodrug off morphine and is activated by which enzyme?

A

CYP2D6

  • Not inducible enzyme
  • Ultra rapid metabolized (UM) results in increase morphine»>more analgesia and risk of respiratory depression
  • Inhibition (fluoxetine,paroxetine) results in decrease codeine conversion to morphine»>less analgesia

Q

Grape fruit juice interacts with?

A

Inhibit 3A4
>1.2L/day Intake

Avoid with: Silva,lova,nifedipine,tacrolimus

Ticagrelor increased bleeding risk

Q

Opioid analgesics DIs

A

-Fentanyl, hydrocodone, oxy, methadone

Are Cyp3A4 substrates

Interaction with inhibitors of enzyme will lead to resp depression

Removal of inducer would cause increased drug levels it dose is not adjusted

Avoid with inhibitors:
Oxy has BBW
Methadone has a warning

Q

Warfarin drug interactions that increase bleeding risk

A

NSAIDs,SSRIs, SNRIs, ginkgo (no efectbon INR), fish oils, vitam E, willow bark

5Gs that can increase bleeding risk:
Ginkgo
Garlic
Ginger
Glucosamine 
Ginseng
17
Q

Drug interactions that cause hyperkalemia risk

A

Aldosterone blockers

  • Avoid use if baseline k is >5
  • Avoid use with concurrent NSAIDs

Additive accumulation: ACEs/ARBs, aliskerin, amiloride,trianterene, salt substitutes, drospirenone OC,
Other: tacrolimus and cyclosporine, canaglifozin, bactrim, pentamidine

Tx of chronic hyperkalemia:

  • hold or reduce RAAS drugs
  • Petiromer (valtessa) PO
  • sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (lokelma) fastest response
  • k binders may allow to keep dose of RAAS agents needed for indication (e.g heart failure) at recommenced dose.
  • Avoid periods of fasting to prevent insulin response. -avoid NSAIDs
  • use diuretics with RAAs agents helps
