Article Abstract

Rifampin may improve diabetic foot osteomyelitis outcomes, but its extensive drug-drug interactions could hamper its use. Here, through a review of the medications prescribed to a cohort of 190 persons with diabetic foot osteomyelitis, we show that rifabutin, a rifamycin with fewer drug-drug interactions, would be easier to implement in practice.

Background: The COVID-19 antiviral Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid, N/R) was approved for use in Canada in January 2022, with the Government of Canada assuming a procurement role and provinces, territories, and federal departments implementing usage within their respective healthcare systems. The objective of this analysis is to describe how N/R was implemented across various jurisdictions in the first six months after it was available for use and identify promising implementation practices.

Methods: Fourteen semi-structured discussions in small group settings were conducted with jurisdictional representatives involved in the implementation of N/R.

Motivation: The increasing demand for effective drug combinations has made drug-drug interaction prediction a critical task in modern pharmacology. While most existing research focuses on small-molecule drugs, the role of biotech drugs in complex disease treatments remains relatively unexplored. Biotech drugs, derived from biological sources, have unique molecular structures that differ significantly from those of small molecules, making their interactions more challenging to predict.

Background: Omeprazole, a widely used proton pump inhibitor, has been associated with rare but serious adverse events such as myopathy. Previous research suggests that concurrent use of omeprazole with fluconazole, a potent cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19/3A4 inhibitor, may increase the risk of myopathy. However, the contribution of genetic polymorphisms in CYP enzymes remains unclear.
