48
Q

Methotrexate interactions

A

Sulfa antibiotics and aspirin and NSAIDs increase risk of methotrexate toxicity

49
Q

Biophosphonates MOA

A

Inhibit normal and abnormal bone resorption, resulting depression n increased bone mineral density, reversing the progression of osteoporosis

50
Q

Biophosphonates uses

A

Osteoporosis in postmenopausal men and women, hypercalcemia of malignant disease and bony metastasis of some solid tumors, paget disease

51
Q

A

Hypokalemia, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), infection, skin reactions, and atypical femoral fractures

56
Q

Biophosphonates interactions

A

Calcium supplements, or antacids containing magnesium and aluminum decrease effectiveness of biophosphonates, aspirin increases risk of GI belleding, increased risk of theophylline toxicity

57

58
Q

Febuxostat MOA

A

Reduce serum uric acid levels, preventing gout attacks

59

73
Q

What should be used to premeditate patients before pegloticase infusions

A

Antihistamines and corticosteroids because anaphylactic reactions have been seen

74
Q

Allopurinol interactions

A

Ampicillin increases risk of rash, increased risk of theophylline toxicity, and aluminum antacids decrease effectiveness of allopurinol

75
Q

Febuxostat interactions

A

Ampicillin increases risk of rash, increased risk of theophylline toxicity

76
