  • Guideline for Preoperative Medication Management
    Guideline: Preoperative Medication Management Guideline for Preoperative Medication Management Purpose of Guideline: To provide guidance to physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), pharmacists, and nurses regarding medication management in the preoperative setting. Background: Appropriate perioperative medication management is essential to ensure positive surgical outcomes and prevent medication misadventures.1 Results from a prospective analysis of 1,025 patients admitted to a general surgical unit concluded that patients on at least one medication for a chronic disease are 2.7 times more likely to experience surgical complications compared with those not taking any medications. As the aging population requires more medication use and the availability of various nonprescription medications continues to increase, so does the risk of polypharmacy and the need for perioperative medication guidance.2 There are no well-designed trials to support evidence-based recommendations for perioperative medication management; however, general principles and best practice approaches are available. General considerations for perioperative medication management include a thorough medication history, understanding of the medication pharmacokinetics and potential for withdrawal symptoms, understanding the risks associated with the surgical procedure and the risks of medication discontinuation based on the intended indication. Clinical judgement must be exercised, especially if medication pharmacokinetics are not predictable or there are significant risks associated with inappropriate medication withdrawal (eg, tolerance) or continuation (eg, postsurgical infection).2 Clinical Assessment: Prior to instructing the patient on preoperative medication management, completion of a thorough medication history is recommended – including all information on prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, “as needed” medications, vitamins, supplements, and herbal medications. Allergies should also be verified and documented.

  • Pms-ATENOLOL Atenolol Tablets, BP 25 Mg, 50 Mg and 100 Mg
    - PRODUCT MONOGRAPH Pr pms-ATENOLOL Atenolol Tablets, BP 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg Beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent PHARMASCIENCE INC. Date of Revision: 6111 Royalmount Ave., Suite 100 November 3, 2017 Montreal, Quebec H4P 2T4 www.pharmascience.com Submission Control No: 201217 PRODUCT MONOGRAPH NAME OF DRUG Prpms-ATENOLOL Atenolol Tablets, BP 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION Beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Atenolol is a beta1-selective, beta adrenergic blocking agent, devoid of membrane stabilizing or intrinsic sympathomimetic (partial agonist) activities. It is a racemic mixture and the beta1 properties reside in the S (-) enantiomer. Beta1-selectivity decreases with increasing dose. The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect has not been established. Among the factors that may be involved are: a) competitive ability to antagonize catecholamine-induced tachycardia at the beta-receptor sites in the heart, thus decreasing cardiac output b) inhibition of renin release by the kidneys c) inhibition of the vasomotor centres The mechanism of the anti-anginal effect is also uncertain. An important factor may be the reduction of myocardial oxygen requirements by blocking catecholamine-induced increases in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and the velocity and extent of myocardial contraction. In man atenolol reduces both isoproterenol- and exercise-induced increases in heart rate over the dose range of 50 to 200 mg. At an oral dose of 100 mg the beta1 blocking effects persist for at least 24 hours; the reduction in exercise-induced heart rate increase being about 32% and 13%, 2 and 24 hours after dosing, respectively.

  • Migraine Headache Prophylaxis Hien Ha, Pharmd, and Annika Gonzalez, MD, Christus Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program, San Antonio, Texas
    Migraine Headache Prophylaxis Hien Ha, PharmD, and Annika Gonzalez, MD, Christus Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency Program, San Antonio, Texas Migraines impose significant health and financial burdens. Approximately 38% of patients with episodic migraines would benefit from preventive therapy, but less than 13% take prophylactic medications. Preventive medication therapy reduces migraine frequency, severity, and headache-related distress. Preventive therapy may also improve quality of life and prevent the progression to chronic migraines. Some indications for preventive therapy include four or more headaches a month, eight or more headache days a month, debilitating headaches, and medication- overuse headaches. Identifying and managing environmental, dietary, and behavioral triggers are useful strategies for preventing migraines. First-line med- ications established as effective based on clinical evidence include divalproex, topiramate, metoprolol, propranolol, and timolol. Medications such as ami- triptyline, venlafaxine, atenolol, and nadolol are probably effective but should be second-line therapy. There is limited evidence for nebivolol, bisoprolol, pindolol, carbamazepine, gabapentin, fluoxetine, nicardipine, verapamil, nimodipine, nifedipine, lisinopril, and candesartan. Acebutolol, oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, and telmisartan are ineffective. Newer agents target calcitonin gene-related peptide pain transmission in the migraine pain pathway and have recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; ​​​how- ever, more studies of long-term effectiveness and adverse effects are needed. The complementary treatments petasites, feverfew, magnesium, and riboflavin are probably effective. Nonpharmacologic therapies such as relaxation training, thermal biofeedback combined with relaxation training, electromyographic feedback, and cognitive behavior therapy also have good evidence to support their use in migraine prevention.

The aqueous solubility of doxepin hydrochloride was tested at pHs of 1.0, 6.8, and 7.4 using the shake-flask method. Triplicate samples were prepared for each buffer system and at equilibration, and the pH was verified using a calibrated pH meter. The sponsor reported that the thermodynamic pKa values for doxepin and its metabolite desmethyl doxepin are 8.96 and 9.75, respectively, at 25 ºC.
