Abstract. Cholesterol synthesis inhibitors and fibrates both exercise effects that could influence BP and renal function in hypertension. To test this issue, transit-time ultrasound flow probes, implanted optical fibers, and laser-Doppler flowmetry were used for measurements of total and regional renal blood flows in lovastatin 40 mg kg body wt ; and bezafibrate 50 mg kg body wt ; chronically treated deoxycorticosterone acetate DOCA ; -salt hypertensive mice. Total renal blood flow was well autoregulated between 70 and 150 mmHg approximately 3.5 ml min per g kidney weight in DOCA-salt mice ; . Both lovastatin and bezafibrate increased renal blood flow to a range between 4.7 and 5.5 ml min per g kidney weight. In the renal perfusion pressure ranges investigated, renal vascular resistance increased in lovastin- and bezafibrate-treated DOCA-salt mice, but not as steeply as in vehicle-treated DOCA-salt mice. During a stepwise increase in renal perfusion pressure in lovastatin-treated DOCA-salt mice, medullary blood flow increased up to 130% of baseline values, which was. Treatment of primary moderate hypercholesterolemia with lovastatin mevinolin ; and colestipol. Concurrent use of verapamil or diltiazem and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors increases the risk of muscle related ADRs Introduction The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors statins ; are effective in both the primary and secondary prevention of ischaemic heart disease. As a group, these drugs are well tolerated apart from two uncommon but potentially serious adverse effects: elevation of liv enzymes and skeletal muscle er abnormalities, which range from benign myalgias to life-threatening rhabdomyolysis [1-6]. The recent withdrawal of cerivastatin as a result of deaths from rhabdomyolysis illustrates the clinical importance of such interactions. Most statins are metabolised by the cytochrome P450 CYP ; enzyme system. The CYP3A4 isoenzyme metabolises lovastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin and cerivastatin, whereas CYP2C9 metabolises fluvastatin. Pravastatin and rosuvastatin are not significantly metabolised by the CYP system. [1-6]. The calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem are inhibitors of CYP3A4, but also substrate. Co-administration of a statin -especially lovastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin and cerivastatin- and verapamil or diltiazem may therefore increase the statin concentration and result in muscle pathology [7]. The Dutch SPC of diltiazem mentions inhibition of cytochrome P450 but the specific warning for increased blood levels is limited to cyclosporine, carbamazepine and theophylline; statins are not mentioned [8]. The Dutch SPCs of verapamil does not mention the inhibition of cytochrome P450. Nevertheless, it warns for blood level changes of cyclosporine, carbamazepine and theophylline, but not statins [9]. Reports The Lareb database contains 41 reports with muscle related ADRs during use of a statin combined with verapamil or diltiazem, as illustrated by two cases. Patient A is a 63-year-old male used simvastatin 40 mg chronically. Diltiazem was started, and the dosage simvastatin was reduced 20 mg ; due to the potential interaction. Nevertheless, he developed myalgia and simvastatin was discontinued. Myalgia disappeared. Creatinine kinase CPK ; levels were not determined. Patient B concerns a 77-year-old female. Four months after starting simvastatin, indicated for hypercholesterolaemia, and one month after addition of diltiazem, she developed rhabdomyolysis. CPK levels were not reported. Simvastatin was discontinued, but she had not yet recovered at the moment of notification. Concomitant medication included paroxetine, metoprolol, folic acid and low dose aspirin. Although paroxetine is a weak CYP3A4 inhibitor, and aspirin may induce CYP3A4 activity in healthy subjects, the chronic use of these preclude significant influence [10, 11]. Other sources of information Literature The effect of diltiazem on the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin was studied in 10 healthy adults. The serum concentration of simvastatin was significantly increased AUC by 4.8 + - 1.7-fold, an increase in maximum concentration Cmax ; by 4.1 + - 1.8-fold, and an increase in half-life by 2.4 + 1.7-fold, without affecting the time to reach Cmax ; with concurrent use of diltiazem via inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A 4-mediated metabolism [12]. A pharmacokinetic study involving 12 healthy volunteers showed that verapamil increased the mean Cmax of simvastatin by 2.6-fold and the AUC from 0 to 24 hours by 4.6-fold [13].

New York State legislators recently made significant changes to the statutes that control the determination of damages in medical, dental and podiatric malpractice cases. This change was prompted by the verdict in the medical malpractice case of Desiderio vs. Ochs, that resulted in the largest sustained medical malpractice verdict in the history of New York. The details of this case and the subsequent legislative changes are described below. Acta Medica Iranica, Vol. 44, No. 2 2006 and mevacor!


Isosorbide dinitrate and nitroglycerin ointment at 0600, 1200, and 1800. L9vastatin and simvastatin at 1700. Rapamune at 1300 Steroids at 0800 and at 1600 if BID ; Warfarin at 1800. A second phase II trial, led by Ken Linden, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of California, Irvine, will evaluate whether lovastatin Mevacor ; can reverse precancerous changes in atypical nevi, which are a precursor for melanoma. Patient enrollment will begin late this year or early next. In addition, Ruby Kochhar, M.D., a hematologist oncologist at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Va., president of the Kochhar Research Foundation, and lead researcher on one of the recent VA studies that was presented at ASCO, is planning to propose a prospective trial that will look at statins for the prevention of breast cancer. Some of the NCI cooperative groups have recommended starting a large randomized trial, particularly since statins may also have activity against other diseases, including multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer disease. However, there's just not enough evidence for this yet, according to Hawk. "You don't want to jump into something so terribly costly, " he said. A phase III trial would require a great amount of time, money, and participants, and "there really isn't a compelling scientific basis" for such a trial, Hawk said. Conducting a large randomized trial also might be very difficult because so many people already take the drugs, said Gad Rennert, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Clalit Health Services National Cancer Control Center in Haifa, Israel, and co-author on the recent NEJM study. First, because so many people are on the drugs and would have to be excluded from the trial, the study wouldn't necessarily represent the population. Second, contamination in the control arm would be another problem. "What are the chances that, for the 5 to 7 years of the trial, they'll not take statins?" he asked. It is possible that many participants could develop high cholesterol over the time of the trial and be given statins. "It's so very difficult to get these into a clinical trial, " he said. Another difficulty is that little is known about how exactly statins work against cancer. "There's really not a lot out there, " said Limburg. Statins lower cholesterol by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase and preventing the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a key step in the production of cholesterol in the liver. "The leading hypothesis is that by inhibiting [HMG-CoA reductase], these drugs inhibit prenylation, " said Gruber. Prenylation is the post-transcriptional modification that allows proteins, such as Ras and Rho, to move to the cell membranes. Disruption of this step in protein synthesis may lead to downPaul Limburg stream effects in a variety of cancer-related pathways, including tumor invasion, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and cell differentiation. Statins also have anti-inflammatory action, according to Gruber, which could play a role in their anticancer action. See News, Vol. 95, No. 12, p. 844, "Of Cancer and Cholesterol: Studies Elucidate Anticancer Mechanisms of Statins." ; Furthermore, "we do not know the effect [of statins] in normal people, those without high cholesterol or high triglycerides, " said Kochhar. Conducting a large randomized trial brings the dangers that come with giving drugs to otherwise healthy people. But whether or not a large randomized trial of statins for chemoprevention is conducted may become a moot point. "It may not be such an issue, " said Rennert. "If 25% of the population is already using them, we are already doing cancer prevention on 25% of the population." "There is a potential that these agents would have a really large impact, " said Hawk, particularly if they are shown to have effects in other diseases. However, "it's time for phase II studies, but probably nothing beyond that, " he said. --Sarah L. Zielinski and maxalt. 1. Stepp DW, Kroll K, Feigl EO.

Longer elimination half-life of these synthetic agents reduces dosing requirements to once-aday or twice-a-day regimens Table ; . The slower elimination of these agents permits the maintenance of more constant blood and tissue concentrations, which are essential for efficacy of bacteriostatic antibiotics. These long-acting antibiotics appear to have favorable tissue distribution except in the central nervous system ; and are capable of reaching the site of infection, thereby adding to their in vivo potency. The distribution and accumulation of azith-romycin within human neutrophils, as well as its prolonged half-life, may augment its antimicrobial efficacy.6 The utility of erythromycin for treating dental and respiratory infections has been limited by side effects, the most common being abdominal cramping, nausea and vomiting. The newer agents appear to induce less gastric distress, although thorough assessment of clinical experience is needed to confirm this advantage.3, 7, 8 Additionally, prolonged use of erythromycin has been associated with cholestatic hepatitis primarily with the estolate formulation ; . The occurrence of cross-allergenicity between erythromycin and the newer synthetic macrolides should be considered likely. Some of the most significant adverse reactions associated with erythromycin are the result of its ability to interfere with the liver metabolism of a variety of concomitantly administered drugs such as terfenadine, theophylline, digoxin, triazolam, carbamazepine, cyclosporine, lovastatin and warfarin. Because it competes for similar hepatic enzymes cytochrome P450 isozyme CYP3A and CYP1A2 ; , 9 erythromycin may inhibit the metabolism of these other drugs and significantly elevate their blood concentrations, possibly to toxic levels. Pharmacokinetic drug interactions similar to those of erythromycin also have been noted with clarithromycin.6, 10 Azithromycin has an azalide ring--rather than a macrolide ring--structure, which prevents it from binding to cytochrome P450 enzymes. The severe adverse drug interactions common to erythromycin have been reported infrequently for azithromycin.10 Similarly, dirithromycin does not compete for these drug-metabolizing liver enzymes, and clinically significant drug interactions have been reported only rarely.4 However, because dirithromycin has been marketed only recently, clinical experience with all of its possible drug interactions is limited and rizatriptan.

Do not take SPORANOX capsules if you are breast-feeding or discontinue nursing if you are taking SPORANOX. Since scientific information on the use of SPORANOX capsules in children is limited, it is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age. INTERACTIONS WITH THIS MEDICATION A wide variety of drugs may interact with SPORANOX capsules. Do not take SPORANOX capsules if you are taking any of the following medications: quinidine such as Cardioquin , Quinidex ; , cisapride and pimozide such as Orap ; which could result in dangerous or even life-threatening abnormal heartbeats HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors such as lovastatin Mevacor ; and simvastatin Zocor ; which could result in potentially serious breakdown of muscle tissue triazolam such as Halcion ; and midazolam such as Versed ; which may worsen or prolong drowsiness ergot alkaloids such as dihydroergotamine, ergotamine and ergometrine ergonovine ; which could result in a serious or life-threatening decrease in blood flow to the brain and or limbs ischemia ; eletriptan such as Relpax ; , a migraine medication, which could result in serious side effects. Other may also interact with SPORANOX capsules. These include: fentanyl and alfentanil, strong medicines for pain carbamazepine, phenytoin and phenobarbital, drugs used to treat epilepsy rifampicin, rifabutin, isoniazid, clarithromycin and erythromycin, drugs to treat infections digoxin, disopyramide, and calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine, felodipine and verapamil ; , drugs that act on the heart and blood vessels warfarin, a drug that slows down blood clotting budesonide, dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, drugs for inflammation, asthma and allergies some drugs used to treat AIDS HIV known as protease inhibitors and nevirapine busulfan, docetaxel and vinca alkaloids, drugs used in cancer treatment alprazolam, diazepam and buspirone, drugs to help you sleep or to treat anxiety atorvastatin, a drug used to lower cholesterol drugs taken orally to treat diabetes such as repaglinide trazodone, a drug used to treat depression trimetrexate, a drug for serious pneumonia cyclosporine, tacrolimus and sirolimus, drugs which are usually given after an organ transplant. Always tell your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you are taking any other medicines, either prescription or over-thecounter, herbal medicines or natural health products. PROPER USE OF THIS MEDICATION Always take SPORANOX capsules during or right after a full meal because it is better taken up by the body this way. Swallow the capsules with some water and mellaril. Certainly, response to low heme and response to low sterols are not completely separable. Even within a specific pathway, such as ergosterol biosynthesis or the DAN TIR gene family, mechanisms responding to both low heme and low sterols are at work. The involvement of Hap1p in ergosterol biosynthesis serves as one such example. Both Upc2p and Ecm22p required a functional version of Hap1p for basal expression of ERG2 Figure 1 ; . In contrast, when sterols were depleted with lovastatin, Upc2p's dependence on Hap1p was largely abolished, as robust induction of ERG2 was observed, whereas Ecm22p still depended upon Hap1p for ERG gene activation. Upc2p's ability to induce ERG2 expression in the absence of Hap1p may be the consequence of several factors. Both Upc2p levels and the amount of Upc2p at ERG promoters increase upon sterol depletion Davies et al. 2005 ; , whereas Ecm22p levels and their occupancy at SREs decreased. The derepression of Upc2p activity upon sterol depletion Davies et al. 2005 ; and the resulting increases in Upc2p levels may enable Upc2p to induce ERG2 expression in a HAP1independent manner. It is unlikely that the need for both Hap1p and Upc2p or Hap1p and Ecm22p for basal gene expression is limited to ERG2. Full expression of HMG1 requires both the Hap1p binding site and an additional 55-bp region in its promoter Tamura et al. 2004 ; . This region contains the SRE binding site for Upc2p and Ecm22p Vik and Rine 2001 ; . Indeed, conserved core consensus binding sites are found for both Hap1p and Upc2p Ecm22p in several ERG genes Chiang et al. 2003 ; . The involvement of Mot3p in ERG gene expression revealed that ERG gene expression involved both induction and repression. Mot3p modulates the transcription of a diverse set of genes in a dosage-dependent manner Grishin et al. 1998; Abramova et al. 2001a ; . Mot3p acts in combination with Rox1p to recruit the.

The Gateshead Medicines Management Committee is now in its third year. It continues to work to develop more effective relationships across the interface leading to greater ownership and credibility of decision making regarding medicines, manage the entry of new medicines on to the formulary, and acknowledge that prescribing cannot be considered in isolation and non-pharmacological and service development issues may also need to be considered. The GMMC is currently going through a challenging phase as it seeks to establish itself within the new management structures of the NHS South of Tyne & Wear, the new era of practice-based commissioning and Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust. It is working to ensure the medicines management agenda remains a high priority for all stakeholder organisations. Achievements 2005 06, for instance, interaction lovastatin.

Dissolution rate of SCF-micronized particles: Among the hundreds of articles dealing with SCF particle design [3-5], it is rather surprising that very few ones disclosed interesting results on dissolution-rate comparison between the unprocessed material and the SCF micronized solid, as detailed below ; moreover, in most publications, data are not complete and physical properties of the solid material are lacking. Perhaps this is to be related to the difficulty to reach reliable results as mentioned before ! We would honestly confess that our team did experience such difficulty and prefer not to disclose some uncertain results, while other ones were covered by trade secrets; however, in spite of these reservations, our results on lovsstatin and celecoxib micronization are presented below. Phenacetin was micronized by RESS with CO2 and CHF3 as solvents, and the samples compared with the milled material [7]: No polymorphic modification was observed but large differences appeared in particle shapes, sizes and specific surface areas. However, despite considerable differences in specific surface area a from 23, 800 to 34, 100 cm-1 for the RESS-material in comparison with 14, 500 cm-1 for the milled material ; , the dissolution rates in pure water remained of the same order of magnitude, due to agglomeration and wetting problems; this was confirmed by the very significant increase in dissolution rates after addition of a hydrophilic solubilising agent Aerosil R 972 ; or a mixture of it with mannitol. Nifedipine anti-hypertension agent ; was processed by RESS-CO2, leading to particles of a very uniform size 1-3 m ; that were later incorporated at a concentration of 20% into fast-disintegrating tablets for dissolution release in pepsin-free artificial gastric juice, in comparison with tablets containing milled material [8]: The micronized compound was released faster, 50% in 38 min and 54 min respectively ; but not as much as expected from the particle size difference, due to re-agglomeration and poor wettability of the micronized particles. This compound was also processed by PGSSCO2 atomization of the melted compound saturated in high-pressure gas ; [9, 10]. Particles of 15-30 m-size were obtained in comparison with the 50 m-size unprocessed material. Depending on the processing conditions, the resulting dissolution rate in pure water was significantly increased: about twice after 15 to 60 min [9] up to 7 times at 60 min [10]. We micronized nifedipine by RESS using dimethyl ether as solvent and obtained micro-particles that did not exhibit a better dissolution rate in simulated pepsin-free gastric juice pH 1.2 ; than the original material as shown on figure 2 and telmisartan and lovastatin.

Other markets - 49% of the division's sales in Q1 2006 Bulgaria had a slow start to the year, partly due to integration of pharmaceutical distribution business of Higia. Sales were EUR 34.5 million including revenue from Higia; compared to previous year, underlying growth was negative. Ukraine delivered a very strong first quarter, sales were EUR5.9 million, 156.0% over the first quarter 2005 EUR2.3 million ; . In the Central European region which includes Hungary, Poland, Slovak and Czech Republic, Sales in Q1 was EUR7.3 million. Asia is a new market within the Actavis group with first quarter sales EUR5.2 million and has potential for growth in coming years when Actavis product portfolio will be available in Asia. Western Europe, Middle East and Africa, 21% of Q1 revenues The division had total sales of EUR71.9 million, of which around 95% has been generated as the result of acquisitions completed in 2005, specifically the European operations of Alpharma. 25 products were launched total of 16 different molecules products ; into key markets in the quarter, including products such as terbinafine, amlodipine and tamsulosin. Of the 25 product launches, 11 were first to market. Key markets for the division include: the UK 27% of divisions sales ; , Germany 18% of sales ; , the Nordic countries 35% ; and Netherlands 8% ; . UK Sales for the quarter were EUR19.4 million, despite increased price erosion on key molecules, including the hospital tender business. Two new products were launched on the market in the quarter and two branded OTC launches are expected in coming months, supporting further revenue growth opportunities. Germany Sales for the quarter were EUR12.5 million. Three new products were launched in first quarter. Actavis is currently the sixth largest generic company in Germany. The new pharmaceutical legislation in Germany, which came into effect on the 1st of May, is expected to have moderate effects on the revenue for the rest of 2006. This legislation obliges pharmaceutical companies to give a 10% rebate on generics to the sick funds, but also bans discounts to pharmacies. Other markets Sales in the Nordic markets were EUR25 million and above management expectation. Contributing to the increased sale in Nordic were 9 new products were launched in first quarter. Portugal sales were EUR3.0 million and the country had 4 new product launches. North America division 33% of Q1 revenues The first quarter results include a first time contribution from Alpharma which was fully incorporated into the Group's accounts at the end of 2005. Due to this being a new division, principally comprised of Alpharma and Amide there are no comparative numbers for 2005 as Alpharmas Human Generics Division did not report on a quarterly basis in 2005. The North American Division successfully integrated former Amide and Alpharma Sales & Marketing teams to create a single face to the customers during first quarter. Integration efforts on financial, IT, manufacturing and R&D are also tracking favourably to plan. The division filed 9 ANDAs and introduced seven 6 new products to the US market during the quarter. The Division's first quarter revenue were over internal expectations. Business results were driven by continued strong performance of key products including Diltiazem, Gabapentin, Quineretic, Lovastatin, expanded product distribution, OTC and private label expansion, and strong cost containment efforts. Reported Revenue in first quarter was EUR113.0 million, a 272% increase over reported fourth quarter results Q4 2005: EUR 30.4 million ; following the full effect of Alpharma US Generics business. Third-Party Sales - 11% of Q1 revenue The Divisions Q1 revenues were in line with expectations and reached EUR38.9 million, up 41, 5% from Q1 2005. Product sales of a total of EUR36.5 m were in line with management expectation and the key products include Ramipril, Ciprofloxacin and Citalopram. Dossier sales were somewhat below expectation and amounted to EUR2.4 m. Germany 46% of Third-party product sales Q1 ; As before, Germany is the biggest market for the division, with sales of EUR 15.6 million during the quarter, with Ramipril tablets, Ramipril HCT and Citalopram for international distribution, being the.
