  • Gemtesa® (Vibegron) – New Drug Approval
    Gemtesa® (vibegron) – New drug approval • On December 23, 2020, Urovant Sciences announced the FDA approval of Gemtesa (vibegron), for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency in adults. • OAB is a common condition that occurs when the bladder muscle contracts involuntarily. Over 30 million Americans are estimated to suffer from bothersome symptoms of OAB. • Gemtesa is a selective human beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist. Activation of the beta-3 adrenergic receptor increases bladder capacity by relaxing the detrusor smooth muscle during bladder filling. • The efficacy of Gemtesa was established in a 12-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo- controlled, and active-controlled study in 1,515 patients with OAB (urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency). The co-primary endpoints were change from baseline in average daily number of micturitions and average daily number of urge urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes at week 12. — The change from baseline at week 12 in the average daily number of micturitions was -1.8 and -1.3 for Gemtesa and placebo, respectively (difference of -0.5, 95% CI: -0.8, -0.2; p < 0.001). — The change from baseline at week 12 in the average daily number of UUI episodes was -2.0 and -1.4 for Gemtesa and placebo, respectively (difference of -0.6, 95% CI: -0.9, -0.3; p < 0.0001). • A warning and precaution for Gemtesa is urinary retention. • The most common adverse reactions (2%) with Gemtesa use were headache, urinary tract infection, nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection. • The recommended dose of Gemtesa is one 75 mg tablet orally, once daily with or without food.

  • Polypharmacy-Associated Potential Contraindications of Drug
    Tanaka et al. Journal of Pharmaceutical Health Care and Sciences (2021) 7:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40780-021-00196-w RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Polypharmacy-associated potential contraindications of drug prescriptions in patients with primary angle closure disease in a real-world setting Fumiaki Tanaka1,2, Naoki Shibatani1,2, Kazumi Fujita1,2, Hiroaki Ikesue2, Satoru Yoshimizu3, Nobuyuki Muroi1,2*, Yasuo Kurimoto3 and Tohru Hashida2 Abstract Background: Primary angle closure disease (PACD) is a type of glaucoma in which the intraocular pressure (IOP) is increased because of the blockage of the anterior chamber angle. Medications contraindicated for patients with PACD, such as anticholinergics, cause mydriasis, and can elevate IOP. However, anticholinergics are currently contraindicated only for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) in Japanese package inserts. In this study, we investigated the prescription status of medications contraindicated for PACD, such as anticholinergics, in patients with PACD scheduled for eye surgeries. Methods: Forty-three Japanese patients diagnosed with PACD at Kobe City Eye Hospital, Japan, and scheduled hospitalization for eye surgeries between December 2017 and July 2018, were included. Data, including sex, age, diagnosis, IOP, anterior chamber depth, and patients’ regular medications prior to hospitalization, were collected for each patient from the electronic medical records. Results: The number of patients with chronic primary angle closure (CPAC) and acute primary angle closure (APAC) was 35 (81.4%) and 8 (18.6%), respectively. Among all the 43 patients with PACD, 8 (18.6%) received 15 medications that are potentially contraindicated for PACD by non-ophthalmologist. According to medication categories, benzodiazepine hypnotics were the most commonly prescribed.
