Features of drug-drug interactions rivaroxaban and calcium channel blockers depending on the ABCB1 genotype (rs1045642 and rs4148738) in patients 80 years of age and older with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
Background. The use of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors and carriage of certain ABCB1 polymorphisms can lead to increased concentrations of rivaroxaban and the development of bleeding.The aim of the study. To study the features of drug-drug interactions (DDI) of rivaroxaban in patients over 80 years of age with non-valvular atrial fibrillation depending on the ABCB1 genotype (rs1045642 and rs4148738) using the example of verapamil (P-gp inhibitor) and amlodipine.Materials and methods. One hundred and twenty-eight patients were examined (median age – 87.5 [83–90] years). Genotyping, determination of the minimum equilibrium concentration of rivaroxaban (Cmin, ss), with standardization for the daily dose (Cmin, ss/D), coagulogram and analysis of medical documentation for the presence of clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNM) were carried out. Analysis of CRNM was performed depending on the ABCB1 genotype.Results. The use of rivaroxaban with verapamil in comparison with patients not taking calcium channel blockers (CCBs) leads to high Cmin, ss values in the CC genotype (rs1045642, rs4148738); Сmin, ss and Сmin, ss/D in the CT genotype (rs1045642); prothrombin time in the CC genotype (rs1045642), more frequent occurrence of CRNM in the TT genotype (rs1045642, rs4148738). In comparison with patients taking amlodipine, it leads to high Cmin, ss values in the CT genotype (rs1045642), a more frequent occurrence of CRNM in the TT genotype (rs1045642, rs4148738). The use of rivaroxaban with amlodipine in comparison with patients not taking CCBs leads to high Cmin, ss and Cmin, ss/D values in the CC genotype (rs1045642) (p < 0.017).Conclusion. The use of verapamil with rivaroxaban in ABCB1 TT carriers (rs4148738 and rs4148738) leads to the development of CRNM in 75 and 78 % of cases, respectively. In patients taking rivaroxaban, it is advisable to test the ABCB1 genotype (rs4148738 and rs4148738) before adding a P-gp inhibitor to therapy
Падения у коморбидных пациентов старческого возраста при сочетанном применении психотропных и кардиологических лекарственных средств
The article discusses aspects of drug-induced falls in elderly comorbid patients against the background of polypragmasy and also assesses the role of drug interactions that are highly dangerous according to the risk of falling. A drug audit of the obtained pharmacotherapy database was performed in patients with comorbid pathology older than 75 years, in order to identify fall-risk-increasing drugs, ranked according to the degree of risk of falling, their significant interactions and with using the traffic light classification. The data on the analysis of the contribution of psychotropic, cardiological drugs and their combination on the risk of developing a fall in the hospital in comorbid patients of old age against polypragmasy are presented. В статье рассмотрены аспекты лекарственно-индуцированных падений у коморбидных пациентов старческого возраста на фоне полипрагмазии, а также оценена роль сочетанного применения лекарственных средств, отнесенных к высокоопасным по риску падения. Проведен лекарственный аудит базы данных получаемой фармакотерапии у пациентов старше 75 лет с коморбидной патологией на предмет выявления лекарственных средств, отнесенных к высокоопасным по риску падения, ранжированных по степени этого риска согласно светофорной классификации, и их значимых взаимодействий. Представлены данные по анализу исследования вклада психотропных, кардиологических лекарственных средств и их сочетания на риск развития падения в стационаре у коморбидных пациентов старческого возраста на фоне полипрагмазии
FALLING OF SENILE AGE PATIENT AS AN ADVERSE EVENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF MEDICINES: CASE REPORT
The article presents a case report of 86 years old patient S. (woman), hospitalized in the ophthalmology department of the hospital with a diagnosis of “complicated immature cataract of the left eye, open-angle glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration”. The patient experienced an episode of a fall with a short-term loss of consciousness, severe hypotension (blood pressure – 40/10 mmHg), and bradycardia (heart rate – 32 beats/min) while receiving a local form of beta-blocker in combination with diuretics. In this clinical case, the development of serious adverse reaction is significantly associated with adverse drug interaction (according to Horn-Hansten scale)
Falls in elderly patients with comorbidity, which were prescribed combined application of psychotropic and cardiovascular medicines
