Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

116
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters01:01

Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters

363
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

392
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Community Based Intervention

619
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion01:18

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion

354
In geriatric patients, renal physiology undergoes significant changes, including diminished renal blood flow and a lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to alterations in medication clearance. Drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, lithium, and digoxin, which rely on glomerular filtration for removal from the body, particularly impact pharmacokinetics. These drugs tend to have slower clearance rates in older adults, necessitating careful dosage considerations.Evaluation of renal...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

247
Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

    Summary

    Patient interest in drug take-back programs is high, but awareness and continuous availability are limited. Offering programs at no cost may increase participation in safe medication disposal.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacy Practice
    • Public Health
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Unused, unwanted, or expired (UUE) medications pose safety and environmental risks.
    • Current disposal practices, such as discarding in garbage or sewer, are suboptimal.
    • Patient engagement in safe medication disposal programs is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess patient interest in community pharmacy drug take-back programs.
    • To identify patient motivations for participating in medication disposal.
    • To understand current UUE medication handling behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • A needs assessment survey was administered to patients at a family medicine pharmacy.
    • Participants interested in a drug take-back program received disposal envelopes.
    • Follow-up surveys and telephone interviews gathered data on program participation and reasons.

    Main Results:

    • 61% of patients expressed interest in a drug take-back program.
    • Common disposal methods included garbage (53.2%) and sewer (29.0%).
    • Key participation drivers were safety concerns and environmental impact; antibiotics were the most returned drug class.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant patient interest exists for drug take-back programs.
    • Limited awareness and continuous availability hinder program success.
    • Free programs and further research on medication types and accumulation reasons are recommended.
