what happens with chelation and what drugs do you want to separate from them?
-occurs when a drug binds to polyvalent cations (Mg++, Ca, Fe++) in another compound (antacids or iron supplements) –> passes thru the stool
-quinolones, trtracyclines, levothyroxine, and oral bisphosphonates
pharmacodynamics
the effect that a drug has on the body. the effect can be therapeutic or toxic
pharmacokinetics
the effect the body has on the drug as it goes through the ADMW processes
if gastrointestinal pH is Increased, aborportion will be _______
decreased
ex: H2RAs, PPIs (acidic) taken with itraconazole decrease the funtion of the antifungal and can lead to resistant infections

what effect do CYP enzyme inhibitors have?
DECREASE enzyme function and the ability to metabolize compounds
substrates: decrease the rate of metabolism = INCREASED serum drug levels
what are common CYP inhibitors involved in drug interactions? (G <3 PACMAN)
G: grapefruit
P: protease inhibitors (ritonavir)
A: Azole antifungals (fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, and isvuconazonium)
C: cyclosporine, cobicistat
A: amiodarone and drondarone
N: non-DHP CCBs: diltiazam, verapamil
What effect to CYP enzyme inducers have?
increase enzyme production or activity
-substrates for the enzyme will have an INCREASED rate of drug metabolism = DECREASED serum drug level
-actions: increase dose of substratecomm
Common CPY inducers involved in drug interactions: (PS PORCS)
P: phenytoin
S: smoking
P: phenobarbital
O: oxacarbazepine
R: rafampin, rifabutin, rifapentine
C: carbamazepine (also an auto-inducer)
S: st. johns wort
what are P-gp efflux pumps?
loacted in many tissue membranes where they protect against foreign substances by moving them out of critical aread
-pump out of the bod by pumping them into the gut, where they can be excreted in the stool
Common P-gp substrates:
-anticoagulants (apixaban, rivaroxaban)
-cardio drugs (digioxin, diltiazam, verapamil)
-immunosuppressants (cyclosporine, tacrolimus)
-HCV drugs: sofosbuvir
-others: (colchicine)
Common P-gp inducers:
-carbamazepine
-phenobarbital
-phenytoin
-rifampin
-St. John’s wort
Common P-gp inhibitors:
-anti-infection: clarithromycin, itraconazole, posaconazole
-cardio drugs: amiodarone, diltiazam, verapamil
-HIV drugs: cobicistat, ritonavir
-HCV drugs: ledipasvir
-others: cyclosporine
what is enterohepatic recycling?
-the recycling of a already metabolized drug- increases the duration of action of amny drugs, including some abx, NSAIDs and ezetimibe
DDI: amiodarone and warfarin
-can be used together for afib
-amiodarone inhibits multiple enzymes, including CYP2C9, which metabolizes the more potent warfarin isomer
–> dec warfarin metabolism = inc INR and bleed risk
-want to dec warfarin dose and monitor INR
DDI: amiodarine and digoxin
-can be used together for afib
-amiodarone inhibits P-gp: digoxin is a P-gp substrate –> dec digixon excretion = inc ADRs/toxicity
-both drugs: inc risk of bradycardia, arrhythmia, fatality
–> dec digixon dose by 50% if used together and monitor HR
DDI: Digoxin and loop diuretics
-can be used for HF tx
-loop diuretics dec K, Mg, Ca, Na = can worsen arrhythmias
–> digoxin toxicity risk is increased with less K, Mg and inc Ca level
(renal impairment: dec digoxin dose, freq or d/c drug)
DDI: statins and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
-inhibitors = ritonavir, cobicistat, clarithromycin, erythromycin, azole antifungals, cyclosporine, grapefruit
-inc levels of lovastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin = inc myopathy risk, can cause rhabdomyolysis with ARF
–> simvastatin and lovastatin are CI with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: can use pitavastain, pravastatin, rosuvastatin
DDI: warfarin and CYP2C9 inhibitors and inducers
-inhibitors: azoles, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, amiodarone, metronidazole –> INC level of warfarin
-inducers: rifampin, St. John’s wort –> DEC levels of warfarin
DDI: CYP3A4 inhibitors and CYP3A4 substrates (opioids, fentanyl, hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone)
-dec CYP3A4 substrate metabolism will cause INC drug levels, and INC ADRs/toxicity
DDI: Valproate and lamotrigine
-valproate DEC lamotrigine metabolism and INC lamotrigine levels causing inc risk of skin reactions: SJS/TEN
DDI: MAOIs and drugs/foods that inc sertonin, epi, NE and DA
do NOT use together
-use a 2 week washout period when switching between drugs with MAOI inhibition or serotonergic properties (wait 5 weeks for FLUOXETINE)
-avoid tyramine rich foods: wine, ages cheese, dry meats
