Limitations • Despite the fact that we synthesized all available evidence, most estimates were uncertain because there were few studies per intervention and the network was not so well connected. • Non-pharmacological treatments were not compared to drugs in any of the identified trials; hence, we were unable to evaluate their relative effects. • Overall, the available evidence was scarce and of questionable quality.

  • Influence of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 Gene Variants on Antidepressant
    The Pharmacogenomics Journal (2014) 14, 176–181 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1470-269X/14 www.nature.com/tpj ORIGINAL ARTICLE Influence of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 gene variants on antidepressant response in obsessive-compulsive disorder EJ Brandl1,2, AK Tiwari1,2, X Zhou2,3, J Deluce2,3, JL Kennedy1,2,DJMu¨ ller1,2,4 and MA Richter1,2,3,4 Numerous studies have reported on pharmacogenetics of antidepressant response in depression. In contrast, little is known of response predictors in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a disorder with among the lowest proportion of responders to medication (40–60%). Our study is the largest investigation to date (N ¼ 184) of treatment response and side effects to antidepressants in OCD based on metabolizer status for CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. We observed significantly more failed medication trials in CYP2D6 non-extensive compared with extensive metabolizers (P ¼ 0.007). CYP2D6 metabolizer status was associated with side effects to venlafaxine (P ¼ 0.022). There were nonsignificant trends for association of CYP2D6 metabolizer status with response to fluoxetine (P ¼ 0.056) and of CYP2C19 metabolizer status with response to sertraline (P ¼ 0.064). Our study is the first to indicate that CYP genes may have a role in antidepressant response in OCD. More research is required for a future clinical application of genetic testing, which could lead to improved treatment outcomes. The Pharmacogenomics Journal (2014) 14, 176–181; doi:10.1038/tpj.2013.12; published online 2 April 2013 Keywords: obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); pharmacogenetics; CYP2D6; CYP2C19; treatment response INTRODUCTION OCD is widely accepted as having strong genetic influence, with Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) occurs in approximately two replicated findings reported for the glutamate transporter gene percent of the population1 and is characterized by a broad variety SLC1A1 and several serotonergic, dopaminergic and other 11 of obsessions and/or compulsions causing significant distress for candidate genes.

Received: 1 July 2013; in revised form: 10 September 2013 / Accepted: 25 September 2013 / Published: 10 October 2013 Abstract: CNS-active drugs are used relatively often during pregnancy. Use during early pregnancy may increase the risk of a congenital malformation; use during the later part of pregnancy may be associated with preterm birth, intrauterine growth disturbances and neonatal morbidity. There is also a possibility that drug exposure can affect brain development with long-term neuropsychological harm as a result. This paper summarizes the literature on such drugs used during pregnancy: opioids, anticonvulsants, drugs used for Parkinson’s disease, neuroleptics, sedatives and hypnotics, antidepressants, psychostimulants, and some other CNS-active drugs. In addition to an overview of the literature, data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register (1996–2011) are presented. The exposure data are either based on midwife interviews towards the end of the first trimester or on linkage with a prescribed drug register.

  • Drugs and Medication Guidelines Brochure
    Equine Medication Monitoring Program Drugs and Medication Guidelines January 2021 1 Introduction The California Equine Medication Monitoring Program (EMMP) is an industry funded program to ensure the integrity of public equine events and sales in California through the control of performance and disposition enhancing drugs and permitting limited therapeutic use of drugs and medications. The EMMP and the industry is dedicated and committed to promote the health, welfare and safety of the equine athlete. Owners, trainers, exhibitors, veterinarians and consignors of equines to public sales have a responsibility to be familiar with the California EMMP and the California Equine Medication Rule. California law (Food and Agricultural Code Sections 24000-24018) outlines the equine medication rule for public equine events in California. The owner, trainer and consignor have responsibility to ensure full compliance with all elements of the California Equine Medication Rule. Owners, trainers, exhibitors, veterinarians and consignors of equines to public sales must comply with both the California Equine Medication Rule and any sponsoring organization drug and medication rule for an event. The more stringent medication rule applies for the event. The California Equine Medication Rule is posted on the website: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/ahfss/Animal_Health/emmp/ The information contained in this document provides advice regarding the California Equine Medication Rule and application of the rule to practical situations. The EMMP recognizes that situations arise where there is an indication for legitimate therapeutic treatment near the time of competition at equine events. The EMMP regulations permit the use of therapeutic medication in certain circumstances to accommodate legitimate therapy in compliance with the requirements of the rule.
