  • 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.

  • Triptan Therapy for Acute Migraine
    Triptan Therapy for Acute Migraine Headache John Farr Rothrock, MD University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL Deborah I. Friedman, MD, MPH University of Texas Southwestern, Dallas, TX The “triptans” are 5HT-1B/1D receptor agonists that were developed to treat acute migraine and acute cluster headache. Sumatriptan, the original triptan preparation, has been in general use since 1993, so there has been considerable experience with triptans over time. There are currently seven oral triptans on the market in the United States: sumatriptan (Imitrex™), naratriptan (Amerge™), zolmitriptan (Zomig™), rizatriptan (Maxalt™), almotriptan (Axert™), frovatriptan (Frova™), and eletriptan (Relpax™); brand names may differ by country. There is also a combination preparation of oral sumatriptan/naproxen (Treximet™). Two triptans (sumatriptan, zolmitriptan) are marketed as nasal sprays, and sumatriptan is available for subcutaneous injection, including a needle-free subcutaneous delivery system (Sumavel™). Sumatriptan suppositories are marketed in Europe but not in North America. Zolmitriptan and rizatriptan are sold in an oral disintegrating tablet or “melt” formulation as well as in tablet form; while the “melt” formulations may be more convenient (no liquid is required to propel them into the stomach), they are absorbed similarly to regular tablets and there is no evidence to suggest that they work faster than the tablet formulations. Some patients with migraine-associated nausea prefer the disintegrating tablets while others cannot tolerate their taste. Although all of the triptans initially were investigated for the treatment of migraine headache of moderate to severe intensity and were superior to placebo in those pivotal trials, they appear to be more consistently effective when used to treat migraine earlier in the attack, when the headache is still mild to moderate.

  • Recreational Use, Analysis and Toxicity of Tryptamines
    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 26 Current Neuropharmacology, 2015, 13, 26-46 Recreational Use, Analysis and Toxicity of Tryptamines Roberta Tittarelli1, Giulio Mannocchi1, Flaminia Pantano1 and Francesco Saverio Romolo1,2,* 1Legal Medicine Section, Department of Anatomical, Histological, Forensic Medicine and Orthopedic Sciences, “Sapienza” University of Rome, Viale Regina Elena, 336, 00161 Rome, Italy; 2Institut de Police Scientifique, Université de Lausanne, Batochime, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland Abstract: The definition New psychoactive substances (NPS) refers to emerging drugs whose chemical structures are similar to other psychoactive compounds but not identical, representing a “legal” alternative to internationally controlled drugs. There are many categories of NPS, such as synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic cathinones, phenylethylamines, piperazines, ketamine derivatives and tryptamines. Tryptamines are naturally occurring compounds, which can derive from the amino acid tryptophan by several biosynthetic pathways: their structure is a combination of a benzene ring Roberta Tittarelli and a pyrrole ring, with the addition of a 2-carbon side chain. Tryptamines include serotonin and melatonin as well as other compounds known for their hallucinogenic properties, such as psilocybin in ‘Magic mushrooms’ and dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in Ayahuasca brews. Aim: To review the scientific literature regarding tryptamines and their derivatives, providing a summary of all the available information about the structure of these compounds, their effects in relationship with the routes of administration, their pharmacology and toxicity, including articles reporting cases of death related to intake of these substances. Methods: A comprehensive review of the published scientific literature was performed, using also non peer-reviewed information sources, such as books, government publications and drug user web fora.

  • Triptans in the Treatment of Migraine in Adults
    The role of triptans in the treatment of migraine in adults 28 Paracetamol or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) can be used first-line for pain relief in acute migraine. A triptan can then be trialled if this was not successful. Combination treatment with a triptan and paracetamol or NSAID may be required for some patients. Most triptans are similarly effective, so choice is usually based on formulation, e.g. a non-oral preparation may be more suitable for patients with nausea or vomiting. To avoid medication overuse headache, triptan use should not exceed ten or more days per month. Migraine is a condition characterised by attacks of moderate A stepwise approach to managing migraine: to severe, throbbing headache, which is usually unilateral.

The procedure developed has several advantages such as mild reaction conditions, convenient operations and easily obtained materials. The synthetic method is suitable for industrial manufacture. Keywords: Cyclisation, Sumatriptan, Rizatriptan, ortho phosphoric acid, _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Triptans are a family of tryptamine-based drugs used as abortive medication in the treatment of migraines and cluster headaches. They were first introduced in the 1990s. While effective at treating individual headaches, they do not provide preventative treatment and are not considered a cure. The first triptan (i.e., tryptamine derivative) to be marketed for the acute treatment of migraine, sumatriptan, has been so successful that a number of second generation triptans are now marketed or in the late stages of clinical development 1,2 . The triptans represent a breakthrough in acute migraine treatment, being far more selective for 5-HT1B-1D receptors than their relatively nonselective predecessor’s ergotamine and dihydroergotamine (DHE) 3,4 .
