Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This user-friendly resource offers complete and comprehensive coverage of the difficult challenges posed by drug-drug interactions. Over 170 case vignettes illustrate a variety of interactions (DDIs) to provide an unintimidating -- even entertaining -- approach to understanding these issues. Drug-Drug Interaction Primer builds on the author's earlier work, Drug Interactions Casebook: The Cytochrome P450 System and Beyond, and features updated references throughout and 29 new cases that provide such clinical examples as: a patient diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder transitions from haloperidol to aripiprazole with disastrous results; an AIDS patient's trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is replaced with warfarin following atrial fibrillation, resulting in ischemic stroke; and a delusional patient on risperidone is placed on phenytoin following seizures, and delusions return. Previous cases have been revised to enhance clarity. An introduction to core concepts, which includes brief reviews of each enzyme system, brings the reader up to speed on how to think about DDIs and begin to grapple with what might seem like an imposing subject. The vignettes that follow each include a case presentation and an explanation of the mechanism by which the interaction(s) occurred, and each derives from sound clinical evidence -- not merely extrapolations from drug characteristics -- to offer a more realistic understanding of DDIs. Most of the interactions described involve the cytochrome P450 enzyme system; others involve alterations in phase II metabolism and P-glycoprotein functioning, as well as plasma protein displacement effects. The appendices detail most drug-drug interactions between psychotropic agents and contain metabolic pathways and inhibitory and inductive profiles for antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizing agents -- as well as tables that detail all known and clinically significant DDIs between pairings of any two agents from these drug classes. An extensive index allows quick reference. Among the book's other features: Reorganization by medical subspecialty -- psychiatry, internal medicine, neurology, surgery/anesthesia, and gynecology, oncology, and dermatology -- better facilitates clinical application. Comprehensive tables detail substrates, inhibitors, and inducers for P450, phase II, and P-glycoprotein. DDIs involving select nonpsychotropic agents such as tobacco, ethinylestradiol, and statins. Exploration of the paradigm of plasma protein binding mediated DDIs in detail, with cases conveniently indexed. These cases bring DDIs alive in a way that drier descriptions cannot, and this volume introduces more original material than will be found in other sources. Drug-Drug Interaction Primer is brimming with material that can be put to immediate use, offering insights that will improve any practitioner's skills.

Each drug chapter is written by clinical pharmacists who have hands-on experience in drug dosing and includes an overview of the drug’s pharmacology, including: Indications Mec hanisms of action Toxicities Pharmacokinetics There is comprehensive review and discussion of each drug's bioavailability, volume of distribution, clearance, half-life, therapeutic drug level monitoring, drug interactions, dosing, and availability. Each chapter is enhanced by numerous patient cases with clear step-by-step answers and explanations. Calculations, equations, and dosing recommendations are provided for each case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The occurrence of deleterious or even fatal drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in the perioperative period is no longer a theoretical concern but a harrowing reality. A Case Approach to Perioperative Drug-Drug Interactions addresses the complex realm of pharmacokinetic drug interactions in an easy-to-read volume that functions as both a comprehensive clinical reference and a casebook. The book presents a summary of the core concepts of drug interactions; an organized, annotated presentation of the drug interactions most relevant to the perioperative clinician; and approximately 200 case scenarios that highlight specific drug interactions. This book fills a real void in the clinical literature and is invaluable to anesthesiologists and surgeons, as well as trainees in both specialties; intensive care staff, including physicians, physician’s assistants, and nurses; and nurse practitioners who staff preoperative evaluation clinics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable volume of case vignettes was written to complement the principles detailed in the comprehensive work "Concise Guide to Drug Interaction Principles for Medical Practice: Cytochrome P450s, UGTs, P-Glycoproteins," Second Edition, published by American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc. Each case is thoroughly referenced and depicts real clinical events. Many are direct narrations from patients of the author or his colleagues, with identifiers subtly altered to ensure confidentiality. Others are constructed around well-known, accepted, and multiply-verified interactions. The introductory chapter reviews core concepts and summarizes the P450 system, phase II glucuronidation and P-glycoproteins. Subsequent chapters are organized by the nature of the metabolic processes that account for the depicted drug interactions. At the end of this volume is a revealing self-assessment test case so readers can evaluate their progress in diagnosing drug interactions. Thoroughly indexed and referenced, with three indispensable appendices of tables for quick reference to the P450 system, UGTs, and P-glycoproteins, the case vignettes in this exceptional work illustrate interactions with both psychoactive agents and drugs from other branches of medicine. As such, this essential companion to more in-depth analyses of the P450 system will find an immediate audience among not only psychiatrists but also a wide range of medical specialists and generalists, as well as those who are in any way acquainted with the mental health field.
