Abstract:
This article reviews information on possible adverse events occurring in the organ of vision - in particular, the retina - after using systemic drugs, discusses the drugs that lead to drug-induced retinopathy most often, and describes histomorphological changes and modern understanding of the pathogenesis of damage to retinal structures.

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Drug Distribution and Drug Interactions
One important factor is the relationship between renal clearance and the apparent volume of distribution. Renal clearance tends to be inversely proportional to the apparent volume of distribution. Drugs with an extensive distribution volume or those...
Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
