Abstract:
Diarrhoea is a frequent drug adverse event, implicating a number of different treatments. It occurs in an acute setting or even several months after the beginning of the treatment and different pathophysiological mechanisms are involved. It must be proactively suspected and promptly treated, however this diagnosis is often mentioned only after multiple diagnostic tests. In this review we aim to offer a practical approach to promptly identify drug-induced diarrhoea, recognise most common implicated drugs and establish the best clinical management.

Factors Affecting Protein-Drug Binding: Drug-Related Factors
One crucial factor in drug-protein binding is the drug's lipophilicity or its affinity for fat. More lipophilic drugs tend to have higher binding extents. For example, highly lipophilic drugs like cloxacillin exhibit substantial protein binding, with as much as 95% of the drug binding to proteins. In...
