Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of orally administered medications and supplements. METHODS Systematic searches of bibliographic databases were conducted to identify studies. Pooled effect estimates from different surgical procedures were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS Quantitative data were synthesized from 58 studies including a total of 1985 participants. Whilst 40 medications and 6 supplements were evaluated across these studies, heterogeneity and missing information reduced the scope of the meta-analysis to the following medications and supplements: atorvastatin, paracetamol, omeprazole, midazolam, vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and iron supplements. There were no significant differences in PK parameters post-surgery for the drugs atorvastatin and omeprazole, and supplements calcium, ferritin, and zinc supplements. Paracetamol showed reduced clearance (mean difference [MD] = -15.56 L/hr, p = 0.0002, I2 = 67%), increased maximal concentration (MD = 6.90 μg/ml, p = 0.006, I2 = 92%) and increased terminal elimination half-life (MD = 0.49 hr, p < 0.0001, I2 = 3%) post-surgery. The remaining 36 medications and 2 supplements were included in a systematic review. Overall, 18 of the 53 drugs and supplements showed post-operative changes in PK parameters. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates heterogeneity in practice and could not reach conclusive findings for most PK parameters. Prospective studies are needed to inform best practice and enhance patient healthcare and safety following bariatric surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery is the only treatment for severe obesity (BMI>35kg/m2) currently recognized as effective both in achieving tangible and lasting weight loss, and in improving obesity-related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular complications. Bariatric surgery, like any other surgery of the digestive tract, can have an impact on nutrient absorption, as well as on drug absorption. The literature on drug management in bariatric surgery patients concerned mainly of case reports and retrospective studies involving a small number of patients. No official guidelines are available. METHODS We conducted a literature search on the consequences of bariatric surgery in terms of drug bioavailability and/or effect. The Medline® (PubMed) database was searched using the following keywords: "bariatric surgery", "bioavailability", "gastric bypass", and "obesity". We completed this review with an analysis of reports of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in post-bariatric surgery patients for obesity registered in the National pharmacovigilance database (PVDB). We selected all cases with the mention of "bariatric surgery and/or gastrectomy" as "medical history". After reading the cases, we excluded those in which the patient had undergone surgery for an indication other than obesity, where the route of administration was other than oral, and cases in which ADRs resulted from voluntary overdose, attempted suicide, allergy, switch to Levothyrox® new formulation, meningioma under progestative drugs, inefficacy related to generic substitution and medication error. RESULTS The literature search identified mainly "case report" about the impact of bariatric surgery on so-called "narrow therapeutic window" drugs. We identified 66 informative cases out of a total of 565 cases selected (11%) in the PVDB. Nevertheless, the information does not allow a clear relationship between the occurrence of the ADR and the influence of bariatric surgery. CONCLUSION There is a lack of official information and/or recommendations on medication use in subjects who have undergone bariatric surgery. Apart from under-reporting, ADRs reports remain largely uninformative. Health professional and patients would be awareness for improving, quantitatively and qualitatively the reporting of ADRs in this population.

Digoxin Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Obesity Before and After a Gastric Bypass or a Strict Diet Compared with Normal Weight Individuals. Clin Pharmacokinet 2024; 63:109-120. [PMID: 37993699 PMCID: PMC10786955 DOI: 10.1007/s40262-023-01320-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Several drugs on the market are substrates for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), an efflux transporter highly expressed in barrier tissues such as the intestine. Body weight, weight loss, and a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may influence P-gp expression and activity, leading to variability in the drug response. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate digoxin pharmacokinetics as a measure of the P-gp phenotype in patients with obesity before and after weight loss induced by an RYGB or a strict diet and in normal weight individuals. METHODS This study included patients with severe obesity preparing for an RYGB (n = 40) or diet-induced weight loss (n = 40) and mainly normal weight individuals scheduled for a cholecystectomy (n = 18). Both weight loss groups underwent a 3-week low-energy diet (<1200 kcal/day) followed by an additional 6 weeks of <800 kcal/day induced by an RYGB (performed at week 3) or a very-low-energy diet. Follow-up time was 2 years, with four digoxin pharmacokinetic investigations at weeks 0, 3, and 9, and year 2. Hepatic and jejunal P-gp levels were determined in biopsies obtained from the patients undergoing surgery. RESULTS The RYGB group and the diet group had a comparable weight loss in the first 9 weeks (13 ± 2.3% and 11 ± 3.6%, respectively). During this period, we observed a minor increase (16%) in the digoxin area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity in both groups: RYGB: 2.7 µg h/L [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67, 4.7], diet: 2.5 µg h/L [95% CI 0.49, 4.4]. In the RYGB group, we also observed that the time to reach maximum concentration decreased after surgery: from 1.0 ± 0.33 hours at week 3 to 0.77 ± 0.08 hours at week 9 (-0.26 hours [95% CI -0.47, -0.05]), corresponding to a 25% reduction. Area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity did not change long term (week 0 to year 2) in either the RYGB (1.1 µg h/L [-0.94, 3.2]) or the diet group (0.94 µg h/L [-1.2, 3.0]), despite a considerable difference in weight loss from baseline (RYGB: 30 ± 7%, diet: 3 ± 6%). At baseline, the area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity was -5.5 µg h/L [95% CI -8.5, -2.5] (-26%) lower in patients with obesity (RYGB plus diet) than in normal weight individuals scheduled for a cholecystectomy. Further, patients undergoing an RYGB had a 0.05 fmol/µg [95% CI 0.00, 0.10] (29%) higher hepatic P-gp level than the normal weight individuals. CONCLUSIONS Changes in digoxin pharmacokinetics following weight loss induced by a pre-operative low-energy diet and an RYGB or a strict diet (a low-energy diet plus a very-low-energy diet) were minor and unlikely to be clinically relevant. The lower systemic exposure of digoxin in patients with obesity suggests that these patients may have increased biliary excretion of digoxin possibly owing to a higher expression of P-gp in the liver.

Abstract
In this investigation, PBPK modeling using the Simcyp® Simulator was performed to evaluate whether Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery impacts the oral absorption and bioavailability of azithromycin. An RYGB surgery patient population was adapted from the published literature and verified using the same probe medications, atorvastatin and midazolam. Next, a PBPK model of azithromycin was constructed to simulate changes in systemic drug exposure after the administration of different oral formulations (tablet, suspension) to patients pre- and post-RYGB surgery using the developed and verified population model. Clinically observed changes in azithromycin systemic exposure post-surgery following oral administration (single-dose tablet formulation) were captured using PBPK modeling based on the comparison of model-predicted exposure metrics (Cmax, AUC) to published clinical data. Model simulations predicted a 30% reduction in steady-state AUC after surgery for three- and five-day multiple dose regimens of an azithromycin tablet formulation. The relative bioavailability of a suspension formulation was 1.5-fold higher than the tablet formulation after multiple dosing. The changes in systemic exposure observed after surgery were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy of azithromycin against two of the most common pathogens causing community acquired pneumonia based on the corresponding AUC24/MIC pharmacodynamic endpoint. The results suggest lower bioavailability of the tablet formulation post-surgery may impact clinical efficacy. Overall, the research demonstrates the potential of a PBPK modeling approach as a framework to optimize oral drug therapy in patients post-RYGB surgery.

Abstract
Sparse information is available on pharmacokinetic changes of drugs over time after bariatric surgery. By reviewing the literature on the short- and long-term pharmacokinetic changes of drugs, several patterns were identified for 39 drugs. No relevant pharmacokinetic changes were identified for roughly a third of the drugs. Of the remaining drugs, levels were variable and partly unpredictable shortly after the surgery. In the long term, most of the drug levels remain altered, but in some cases they returned to preoperative values. Based on the changes and the efficacy-safety balance of each drug, clinicians may need to perform additional clinical monitoring for specific drugs, including measuring drug levels. This review provides suggestions for clinicians and pharmacists for specific time-dependent drug dosing advice.

Abstract
Background Despite the increase in the number of bariatric surgeries performed, little is known about the impact of the surgery on drug absorption. Unpredictability is assumed with drugs, given the anatomical changes after surgery. Objective To evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on drug absorption based on the type of procedure performed. Methods We conducted a comprehensive literature review searching PubMed/Medline for published studies (from inception to December 2017) that evaluate the use of drugs and the assessment of drug absorption after bariatric surgery. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies, case reports, and observational studies were included in our review. Results We found 60 studies addressing drug use after bariatric surgery. Twenty‐eight studies reported a decrease in drug absorption after bariatric surgery while only four studies showed an increase in drug absorption. Unchanged absorption of drugs was seen in 23 studies after the surgery. Conclusion The available information shows variations in drug absorption after bariatric surgery. The unpredictability may result from factors related to the patient, drug, and/or type of surgery. Therefore, pharmacists' involvement and close monitoring of patients after bariatric surgery could be effective to avoid sub‐/supratherapeutic responses.

Abstract
Aim Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may influence drug disposition due to surgery‐induced gastrointestinal alterations and/or subsequent weight loss. The objective was to compare short‐ and long‐term effects of RYGB and diet on the metabolic ratios of paraxanthine/caffeine (cytochrome P450 [CYP] 1A2 activity), 5‐hydroxyomeprazole/omeprazole (CYP2C19 activity) and losartan/losartan carboxylic acid (CYP2C9 activity), and cross‐sectionally compare these CYP‐activities with normal‐to‐overweight controls. Methods This trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 40) or diet‐induced (n = 41) weight loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight loss groups underwent a 3‐week low‐energy diet (<1200 kcal/day, weeks 0‐3) followed by a 6‐week very‐low‐energy diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day, weeks 3‐9). Follow‐up time was 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations. Results Mean ± SD weight loss from baseline was similar in the RYGB‐group (13 ± 2.4%) and the diet group (10.5 ± 3.9%) at week 9, but differed at year 2 (RYGB −30 ± 6.9%, diet −3.1 ± 6.3%). From weeks 0 to 3, mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) CYP2C19 activity similarly increased in both groups (RYGB 43% [16, 55], diet 48% [22, 60]). Mean CYP2C19 activity increased by 30% (2.6, 43) after RYGB (weeks 3‐9), but not in the diet‐group (between‐group difference −0.30 [−0.63, 0.03]). CYP2C19 activity remained elevated in the RYGB group at year 2. Baseline CYP2C19 activity was 2.7‐fold higher in controls compared with patients with obesity, whereas no difference was observed in CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities. Conclusion Our findings suggest that CYP2C19 activity is lower in patients with obesity and increases following weight loss. This may be clinically relevant for drug dosing. No clinically significant effect on CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities was observed.

Abstract
Obesity has been a growing worldwide concern, and surgical intervention including bariatric surgery is considered as one of the options for treatment. However, there still is controversy over the change in pharmacokinetics (PKs) of drugs after the surgery. To investigate the potential covariates that can influence the area under the curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), the design of previous studies was reviewed based on pre-determined eligibility criteria. Each study calculated the ratios of the AUC and Cmax before and after bariatric surgery. These studies investigated whether the PK parameters were affected by the time after the surgery or by the type of control group. The ratio of the AUC calculated in the early and late follow-up period was similar across Roux-en Y gastric bypass patients. No significant difference in the PK parameters was found between the pre-surgical patients and matched healthy subjects. However, certain control groups could be preferable depending on the purpose of the clinical trial. Although Cmax was inconsistent compared to the AUC, insufficient sampling of the time points may have caused such an inconsistency. This is the first article exploring the appropriate methodology in designing clinical studies for changes in the PK characteristics of orally administered drugs in patients with bariatric surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We review evidence for assessing and monitoring psychotropic medications in metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) patients. We describe weight gain side effects, potential perioperative risks, pharmacokinetic changes that occur after MBS, and conclude with clinical recommendations. RECENT FINDINGS Research on psychiatric medication use and post-MBS weight outcomes is lacking and inconsistent; however, there is consistent evidence that, though variable, psychiatric medication use is associated with weight gain. Several meta-analyses and reviews provide guidance on lowering risk when appropriate. Perioperative lithium toxicity and SSRI discontinuation syndrome also warrant consideration, as do potential post-operative pharmacokinetic changes. In the absence of data for each psychiatric drug classification, close symptom monitoring and, where appropriate, serum concentration monitoring are recommended. MBS patients are a psychiatrically vulnerable population, and many are on psychiatric medications. Given potential weight/metabolic side effects, perioperative complications, and post-operative pharmacokinetic changes that occur with psychotropic medication use, providers should stay well informed on psychiatric medication management considerations.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery may alter the absorption and overall bioavailability of oral drugs. Lamotrigine is a major antiepileptic and mood stabilizer, that its use after bariatric surgery has not yet been studied. In this article, we provide a thorough mechanistic analysis of the effects of bariatric surgery on multiple mechanisms important for the absorption, bioavailability and overall pharmacokinetics of lamotrigine. Attributable to its pharmacokinetic properties and drug characteristics, the use of lamotrigine after bariatric surgery may be challenging. The complex situation in which some mechanisms may lead to increased drug exposure (e.g., decreased metabolism, weight loss) while others to its decrease (e.g., hampered dissolution/solubility, decreased gastric volume), may result in lowered, unchanged, or enhanced lamotrigine plasma levels after the surgery. We conclude with a set of clinical recommendations for lamotrigine treatment after bariatric surgery, aiming to allow better patient care, and emphasizing the extra caution that needs to be taken with these patients.

Short- and long-term effects of body weight loss following calorie restriction and gastric bypass on CYP3A-activity - a non-randomized three-armed controlled trial. Clin Transl Sci 2021; 15:221-233. [PMID: 34435745 PMCID: PMC8742654 DOI: 10.1111/cts.13142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2020] [Revised: 07/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
It remains uncertain whether pharmacokinetic changes following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can be attributed to surgery-induced gastrointestinal alterations per se and/or the subsequent weight loss. The aim was to compare short- and long-term effects of RYGB and calorie restriction on CYP3A-activity, and cross-sectionally compare CYP3A-activity with normal weight to overweight controls using midazolam as probe drug. This three-armed controlled trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 41) or diet-induced (n = 41) weight-loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight-loss groups underwent a 3-week low-energy-diet (<1200 kcal/day) followed by a 6-week very-low-energy-diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day). Patients were followed for 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations using semisimultaneous oral and intravenous dosing to determine changes in midazolam absolute bioavailability and clearance, within and between groups. The RYGB and diet groups showed similar weight-loss at week 9 (13 ± 2.4% vs. 11 ± 3.6%), but differed substantially after 2 years (-30 ± 7.0% vs. -3.1 ± 6.3%). At baseline, mean absolute bioavailability and clearance of midazolam were similar in the RYGB and diet groups, but higher compared with controls. On average, absolute bioavailability was unaltered at week 9, but decreased by 40 ± 7.5% in the RYGB group and 32 ± 6.1% in the diet group at year 2 compared with baseline, with no between-group difference. No difference in clearance was observed over time, nor between groups. In conclusion, neither RYGB per se nor weight loss impacted absolute bioavailability or clearance of midazolam short term. Long term, absolute bioavailability was similarly decreased in both groups despite different weight loss, suggesting that the recovered CYP3A-activity is not only dependent on weight-loss through RYGB.

Serum concentrations of antidepressants, antipsychotics, and antiepileptics over the bariatric surgery procedure. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2021; 77:1875-1885.

Abstract
Purpose As a substantial proportion of bariatric surgery patients use psychotropic/antiepileptic drugs, we investigated the impact of this procedure on serum concentrations. Methods In a naturalistic, longitudinal, prospective case series, we compared dose-adjusted trough concentrations of antidepressants, antipsychotics, or antiepileptics in consecutive patients before and after bariatric surgery. Adherence to treatment over 2 weeks preceding each sampling was considered. Results In all, 85 participants were included (86% female, median age 45 years, median body mass index 42 kg/m2). They were being treated with 18 different psychotropic/antiepileptic drugs (7 substances: 6–17 individuals, 11 substances: 1–4 individuals) and contributed 237 samples over a median of 379 days after surgery. For four out of seven substances with pre-/post-surgery samples available from six or more individuals, the dose-adjusted concentration was reduced (sertraline: 51%, mirtazapine: 41%, duloxetine: 35%, citalopram: 19%). For sertraline and mirtazapine, the low-calorie-diet before surgery entirely explained this reduction. A consistent finding, irrespective of drug, was the association between the mean ratio of the post-/pre-diet dose-adjusted concentration and the lipophilicity of the drug (logD; correlation coefficient: −0.69, P = 0.0005), the low-calorie diet often affecting serum concentration more than the surgery itself. Conclusions Serum concentrations of psychotropic/antiepileptic drugs vary after bariatric surgery and can be hard to predict in individual patients, suggesting that therapeutic drug monitoring is of value. Conversely, effects of the pre-surgery, low-calorie diet appear generalizable, with decreased concentrations of highly lipophilic drugs and increased concentrations of highly hydrophilic drugs. Interaction effects (surgery/dose/concentration) were not evident but cannot be excluded.

Abstract
Linked to the growing obesity epidemic, demand for bariatric and metabolic surgery has increased, the most common procedures being sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Originally, bariatric procedures were described as purely restrictive, malabsorptive, or combined restrictive-malabsorptive procedures limiting food intake, nutrient absorption, or both. Nowadays, anatomical alterations are known to affect gastrointestinal physiology, which in turn affects the digestion and absorption of nutrients and drugs. Therefore, understanding gastrointestinal physiology is crucial to prevent postoperative nutritional deficiencies and to optimise postoperative drug therapy. Preclinical and clinical research indicates that sleeve gastrectomy accelerates liquid and solid gastric emptying and small intestinal transit, and increases bile acid serum levels, whereas its effects on gastrointestinal acidity, gastric and pancreatic secretions, surface area, and colonic transit remain largely unknown. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass diminishes gastric acid secretion, accelerates liquid gastric emptying, and increases bile acid serum levels, but its effects on intestinal pH, solid gastric emptying, intestinal transit time, gastric enzyme secretions, and surface area remain largely unknown. In this Review, we summarise current knowledge of the effects of these two procedures on gastrointestinal physiology and assess the knowledge gaps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are a class of hemoproteins involved in drug metabolism. It has been reported that body composition, proportion of dietary macronutrients, fasting and nutritional status can interfere with the activity of drug-metabolizing CYPs. OBJECTIVES The present systematic review was conducted to summarize the effect of obesity, weight reduction, macronutrients, fasting and malnutrition on the CYP-mediated drug metabolism. METHODS PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Embase and Cochrane Library databases and Google Scholar were searched up to June 2020 to obtain relevant studies. The PRISMA guidelines were employed during all steps. Two reviewers independently extracted the information from the included studies. Studies investigating CYPs activity directly or indirectly through pharmacokinetics of probe drugs, were included. Increase in clearance (CL) or decrease in elimination half-life (t½) and area under the curve (AUC) of probe drugs were considered as increase in CYPs activity. RESULTS A total of 6545 articles were obtained through searching databases among which 69 studies with 126 datasets fully met the inclusion criteria. The results indicated that obesity might decrease the activity of CYP3A4/5, CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 and increase the activity of CYP2E1. The effect of obesity on CYP2D6 is controversial. Also, weight loss increased CYP3A4 activity. Moreover, CYP1A2 activity was decreased by high carbohydrate diet, increased by high protein diet and fasting and unchanged by malnutrition. The activity of CYP2C19 was less susceptible to alterations compared to other CYPs. CONCLUSION The activity of drug-metabolizing CYPs are altered by body composition, dietary intake and nutritional status. This relationship might contribute to drug toxicity or reduce treatment efficacy and influence cost-effectiveness of medical care.

Abstract
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGBS) is an effective surgical intervention to reduce mortality in morbidly obese patients. Following RYGBS, the disposition of drugs may be affected by anatomical alterations and changes in intestinal and hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme activity. The aim of this study was to better understand the drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of CYP3A and P-gp inhibitors. The impacts of RYGBS on the absorption and metabolism of midazolam, acetaminophen, digoxin, and their major metabolites were simulated using physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. PBPK models for verapamil and posaconazole were built to evaluate CYP3A- and P-gp-mediated DDIs pre- and post-RYGBS. The simulations suggest that for highly soluble drugs, such as verapamil, the predicted bioavailability was comparable pre- and post-RYGBS. For verapamil inhibition, RYGBS did not affect the fold-change of the predicted inhibited-to-control plasma AUC ratio or predicted inhibited-to-control peak plasma concentration ratio for either midazolam or digoxin. In contrast, the predicted bioavailability of posaconazole, a poorly soluble drug, decreased from 12% pre-RYGBS to 5% post-RYGBS. Compared to control, the predicted posaconazole-inhibited midazolam plasma AUC increased by 2.0-fold pre-RYGBS, but only increased by 1.6-fold post-RYGBS. A similar trend was predicted for pre- and post-RYGBS inhibited-to-control midazolam peak plasma concentration ratios (2.0- and 1.6-fold, respectively) following posaconazole inhibition. Absorption of highly soluble drugs was more rapid post-RYGBS, resulting in higher predicted midazolam peak plasma concentrations, which was further increased following inhibition by verapamil or posaconazole. To reduce the risk of a drug-drug interaction in patients post-RYGBS, the dose or frequency of object drugs may need to be decreased when administered with highly soluble inhibitor drugs, especially if toxicities are associated with plasma peak concentrations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify expected pharmacokinetic changes and provide practical recommendations for the medication management of chronic disease states after bariatric surgery. SOURCES OF INFORMATION MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched. The search was limited to studies in human adults. Search terms included obesity, obese, bariatric surgery, gastric bypass, gastrectomy, gastric band, RYGB, roux-en-y, gastrointestinal absorption, medication absorption, drug absorption, bioavailability, dose adjust, drug monitoring, medication adjust, drug change, medication change, medication management, and medication dosing. Reference lists of original studies and reviews were also hand searched. Included studies were entered into PubMed and articles under the "Similar articles" heading were also reviewed. Only studies relevant to bariatric surgery types currently available in Canada (ie, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric banding) were included. MAIN MESSAGE Pharmacokinetic changes anticipated after bariatric surgery vary by surgery type. There are several guiding principles that might be applied to medication management regimens after bariatric surgery. Practice tips are also presented for medication management of specific chronic disease states. CONCLUSION Changes to long-term medication regimens after bariatric surgery should be anticipated and managed in an appropriate and timely manner. The provided clinical practice recommendations might be used in conjunction with a patient's clinical picture to adjust chronic medication regimens in an appropriate and evidence-based manner after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is a metabolic disease that affects all ages; it is considered life-threatening condition as it leads to fatal complications such as; cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The therapeutic options include; life-style modifications, pharmacotherapy intervention, and surgical intervention. Bariatric surgery (BS) is considered as the most effective option among the others for its rapid weight loss, maintaining the lost mass, and improving the quality of life of the patients. Nevertheless, BS leads to severe changes in the bioavailability of medications, especially for chronic diseases, which may reach to limit where the patient's life endangers. Recently, pharmaceutical formulations had developed several methods to improve the drug bioavailability of drugs though the implying of nanotechnology. Nonotechnology is responsible for reducing the size of the drugs to the nano range (<1000 nm), which increase the drug surface area, dissolution, absorption, and, most importantly, the bioavailability of these drugs. It is believed that BS malabsorption and drugs bioavailability problems can be solved using nanotechnology for its advantages in overcoming BS complications.

Abstract
Bariatric surgeries induce structural changes that can alter the absorption of drugs in patients already at risk of polypharmacy. This scoping review aimed to explore pharmacokinetic changes of orally administered drugs in patients post-bariatric surgery, and assess the quality and level of bias. Electronic databases were searched for articles relating to bariatric surgery and pharmacokinetics published between 1998 and 2019. Pre-post studies reporting on pharmacokinetic parameters were included, and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess risk-of-bias. A total of 21 studies were included in this review, and changes in absorption were reported in all included studies across 29 drugs. In 11 studies, this change was reported as statistically significant (p<.05), while six reported a nonsignificant change. More drugs exhibited a shorter Tmax and higher Cmax after surgery than otherwise, however changes in AUC were variable. Four studies were assessed as having fair quality while the remainder of the included studies were of good quality and low risk-of-bias. Bariatric surgery alters the absorption of drugs and several mechanisms are implicated to be responsible. Short and long-term monitoring is recommended in patients post-surgery for clinical changes in response to medications. Future research with a higher number of participants and greater control of variables, such as concurrent medications, malabsorptive disorders, and body composition should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBS), a surgery that creates a smaller stomach pouch and reduces the length of small intestine, is one of the most common medical interventions for the treatment of obesity. AIM The aim of this study was to determine how RYGBS affects the absorption and metabolism of acetaminophen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten morbidly obese patients received 1.5 g of liquid acetaminophen (APAP) orally on three separate pharmacokinetic study days (i.e., pre-RYGBS baseline and 3 and 12 months post-RYGBS). Plasma was collected at pre-specified timepoints over 24 hours, and the samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for APAP, APAPglucuronide (APAP-gluc), APAP-sulfate (APAP-sulf), APAP-cysteine (APAP-cys), and APAP-Nacetylcysteine (APAP-nac). RESULT Following RYGBS, peak APAP concentrations at the 3-month and 12-month visits increased by 2.0-fold compared to baseline (p=0.0039 and p=0.0078, respectively) and the median time to peak concentration decreased from 35 to 10 minutes. In contrast, peak concentrations of APAP-gluc, APAP-sulf, APAP-cys, and APAP-nac were unchanged following RYGBS. The apparent oral clearance of APAP and the ratios of metabolite area under the curve (AUC)-to-APAP AUC for all four metabolites decreased at 3 and 12 months post-RYGBS compared to the presurgical baseline. In a simulation of expected steady-state plasma concentrations following multiple dosing of 650 mg APAP every 4 hours, post-RYGBS patients had higher steady-state peak APAP concentrations compared to healthy individuals and obese pre-RYGBS patients, though APAP exposure was unchanged compared to healthy individuals. CONCLUSION Following RYGBS, the rate and extent of APAP absorption increased and decreased formation of APAP metabolites was observed, possibly due to downregulation of Phase II and cytochrome P450 2E1 enzymes.

Abstract
Many patients with psychiatric conditions undergo bariatric surgery. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure alters medication pharmacokinetic properties and may have significant impact on drug response. Our report is the first to describe atypical antipsychotic therapeutic drug monitoring in patients who have undergone RYGB. The first patient is a 53-year-old female with a stable psychiatric condition undergoing a laparoscopic RYGB. Her medications prior and following the procedure include bupropion, fluvoxamine, lurasidone, methylphenidate, oxcarbazepine, and verapamil. A concentration steady-state lurasidone concentration obtained prior to the procedure was 20 ng/mL and returned at 8.1 ng/mL, 29 days after surgery. The second patient is a 42-year-old female psychiatric inpatient who had previously undergone an RYGB procedure. Medications on admission included phenytoin, oxcarbazepine, risperidone, and venlafaxine. The patient was believed to be a good candidate for a long-acting antipsychotic and paliperidone was chosen. After concentration-steady-state on 6 mg oral paliperidone, a 23.5-hour trough level was drawn. The patient was noted to be improved on the oral paliperidone, the paliperidone long-acting injection was given, and the patient was discharged. After discharge, the paliperidone concentration returned very low at 1.1 ng/mL. We describe the contributions of drug-drug interactions, medication release mechanisms, and food coadministration that may have affected our therapeutic drug monitoring. Our therapeutic drug monitoring results need to be replicated prior to use in the general population but suggest that oral extended-release drug formulations are particularly poor choices and that nonoral antipsychotic formulations may be preferred in some patients who have undergone RYBG.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been on the rise and patients often have multiple indications for pre- and post-operative pharmacotherapy. Procedures target the stomach and/or small intestine and affect weight loss through restriction, malabsorption, or a combination of the two. The absorption and/or metabolism of drugs via the gastrointestinal tract could be altered by different mechanisms. Several cases at the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's Toxicology Laboratory (NCOCME) have raised questions about the potential impact of these procedures on the disposition of drugs in the body and how that altered disposition may affect cause and manner of death. Overmedication and postmortem redistribution are not enough to explain the phenomena seen in some NCOCME bariatric surgery-related casework. Case examples include a 46-year-old female with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) who suffered a witnessed collapse. Toxicological findings included elevated concentrations of oxymorphone at 0.49 mg/L in vena cava blood. A 67-year-old female, who died from vomiting and bacterial gastritis one day after placement of two intragastric weight-loss balloons, had elevated concentrations of duloxetine at 1.4 mg/L in the iliac vein blood and 9.3 mg/kg in the liver. Her medication was strictly controlled by her sister and gastric contents were without intact tablets or residue at autopsy.

The influence of bariatric surgery on oral drug bioavailability in patients with obesity: A systematic review. Obes Rev 2019; 20:1299-1311.

Abstract
Anatomical changes in the gastrointestinal tract and subsequent weight loss may influence drug disposition and thus drug dosing following bariatric surgery. This review systematically examines the effects of bariatric surgery on drug pharmacokinetics, focusing especially on the mechanisms involved in restricting oral bioavailability. Studies with a longitudinal before-after design investigating the pharmacokinetics of at least one drug were reviewed. The need for dose adjustment following bariatric surgery was examined, as well as the potential for extrapolation to other drugs subjected to coinciding pharmacokinetic mechanisms. A total of 22 original articles and 32 different drugs were assessed. The majority of available data is based on Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) (18 of 22 studies), and hence, the overall interpretation is more or less limited to RYGBP. In the case of the majority of studied drugs, an increased absorption rate was observed early after RYGBP. The effect on systemic exposure allows for a low degree of extrapolation, including between drugs subjected to the same major metabolic and transporter pathways. On the basis of current understanding, predicting the pharmacokinetic change for a specific drug following RYGBP is challenging. Close monitoring of each individual drug is therefore recommended in the early postsurgical phase. Future studies should focus on the long-term effects of bariatric surgery on drug disposition, and they should also aim to disentangle the effects of the surgery itself and the subsequent weight loss.

Abstract
PURPOSE Inter- and intraindividual pharmacokinetics variability in humans affects the way in which drugs act on the body. Gastrointestinal surgery has an impact on this variability and significantly alters the kinetics of drugs in post-surgical patients. The way in which pharmacokinetic profiles are modified depends on the type of operative procedure performed. The extent to which the absorption of different groups of drugs is affected varies according to the site and length of intestinal resections. METHODS A literature search was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. Three databases were searched: MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. For each drug, potential changes in absorption were described, including recommendations extracted from the results of the studies and collected according to authors' criteria as practical conclusions, and grades of recommendation were determined by levels of evidence using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine scale. RESULTS Sixty-eight articles were collected during the selection process after the bibliographic search. The main outcomes for 60 drugs from the various studies were classified according to each type of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Modifications in the digestive tract secondary to gastrointestinal surgery may compromise the bioavailability of drugs. Decreased absorption surface, gastric emptying speed, and gastric pH alteration are factors to be taken into account in the management of pharmacological treatment after surgery. Evidence supported by data in clinical practice is scarce, but after studying the pharmacokinetic profile of some molecules, it is possible to offer recommendations for its adaptation to the patient's clinical situation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GBP) is associated with changes in cardiometabolic risk factors and bioavailability of drugs, but whether these changes are induced by calorie restriction, the weight loss or surgery per se, remains uncertain. The COCKTAIL study was designed to disentangle the short-term (6 weeks) metabolic and pharmacokinetic effects of GBP and a very low energy diet (VLED) by inducing a similar weight loss in the two groups. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This open, non-randomised, three-armed, single-centre study is performed at a tertiary care centre in Norway. It aims to compare the short-term (6 weeks) and long-term (2 years) effects of GBP and VLED on, first, bioavailability and pharmacokinetics (24 hours) of probe drugs and biomarkers and, second, their effects on metabolism, cardiometabolic risk factors and biomarkers. The primary outcomes will be measured as changes in: (1) all six probe drugs by absolute bioavailability area under the curve (AUCoral/AUCiv) of midazolam (CYP3A4 probe), systemic exposure (AUCoral) of digoxin and rosuvastatin and drug:metabolite ratios for omeprazole, losartan and caffeine, levels of endogenous CYP3A biomarkers and genotypic variation, changes in the expression and activity data of the drug-metabolising, drug transport and drug regulatory proteins in biopsies from various organs and (2) body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and metabolic biomarkers. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The COCKTAIL protocol was reviewed and approved by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (Ref: 2013/2379/REK sørøst A). The results will be disseminated to academic and health professional audiences and the public via presentations at conferences, publications in peer-reviewed journals and press releases and provided to all participants.

Abstract
An important issue in the follow-up of patients with bariatric surgery remains to determine whether their therapeutic management should be different after surgery. In this article, we first reviewed all pharmacokinetic studies involving at least four subjects who underwent the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) bariatric surgery. Twenty-five publications were selected and, overall, 25 drugs were studied. Drug solubility and permeability parameters for each drug were defined using different parameters or classifications. Increased rates of oral drug absorption were predominantly observed. Conversely, drug exposure differed from one drug to another. Considering the galenic formulation and the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class may help the prediction of oral drug exposure outcome after RYGB. We propose a strategy aiming to guide prescription and drug monitoring in patients with RYGB. But further research is clearly needed due to the unique characteristics of the bariatric population. Priority should be given to drugs that do not have clinical or biological surrogates for dose adaptation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bariatric surgery offers a highly effective mode of treatment for obese patients. Some procedures such as bypass cause an alteration in normal gastrointestinal tract with possible consequences for the uptake of orally administered drugs. METHODS We assessed the literature to ascertain whether the use of oral drugs and especially oral contraceptives is effective and adequate after bariatric surgery. RESULTS The bioavailability of drugs could be affected by the solubility and pH of the modified medium after bariatric surgery and by the loss of gastrointestinal transporters. Bariatric surgery could potentially result in a transient change in the absorption of drugs such as analgesics, antibiotics, antiarrhythmics, anticoagulants, psychotropic, and oral contraceptive drugs. Effective contraception is especially critical in the postoperative period, and implants might be representing a safe contraceptive method in women undergoing bariatric surgery. CONCLUSION Each drug will have to be evaluated with respect to its site of absorption and its mechanism of absorption, with special attention on parameters influencing the effectiveness of the absorption processes.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the most effective solution for severe obesity and obesity with comorbidities, and the number of patients going through bariatric surgery is rapidly and constantly growing. The modified gastrointestinal anatomy of the patient may lead to significant pharmacokinetic alterations in the oral absorption of drugs after the surgery; however, because of insufficient available literature and inadequate awareness of the medical team, bariatric surgery patients may be discharged from the hospital with insufficient instructions regarding their medication therapy. In this article, we aim to present the various mechanisms by which bariatric surgery may influence oral drug absorption, to provide an overview of the currently available literature on the subject, and to draw guidelines for the recommendations bariatric surgery patients should be instructed before leaving the hospital. To date, and until more robust data are published, it is essential to follow and monitor patients closely for safety and efficacy of their medication therapies, both in the immediate and distant time post-surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Co-medication, gene polymorphisms and co-morbidity are main causes for high variability in expression and function of the CYP3A isoenzymes. Pharmacokinetic variability is a major source of interindividual variability of drug effect and response of CYP3A substrates. While CYP3A genotyping is of limited use, direct testing of enzyme function ('phenotyping') may be more promising to achieve individualized dosing of CYP3A substrates. AREAS COVERED We will discuss available phenotyping strategies for CYP3A isoenzymes and causes of intra- and interindividual variability of CYP3A. The impact of phenotyping on the dose selection and pharmacokinetics of CYP3A substrates (docetaxel, irinotecan, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ciclosporin, tacrolimus) are reviewed. Pubmed searches were conducted during March-November 2015 to retrieve articles related to CYP3A enzyme, phenotyping, drug interactions with CYP3A probe substrates, and phenotyping-guided dosing algorithms. EXPERT OPINION While ample data is available on the choice appropriate phenotyping drugs (midazolam, alfentanil, aplrazolam, buspirone, triazolam), less clinical trial data is available concerning strategies to usefully guide dosing in the clinical practice. Implementation into the clinical routine necessitates further research to identify (1) an easy-to-use and cheap test for CYP3A activity that (2) adequately predicts drug exposure to (3) allow a sound decision on dose adaptation and hence (4) improve clinical outcome and/or reduce the intensity or frequency of adverse drug effects.

Abstract
Currently, it has been demonstrated that psychotropic drugs, particularly antidepressants, are frequently prescribed for patients who seek bariatric surgery. Many bariatric surgery patients have a history of a mood disorder. Unlike medications for diabetes, hypertension or hyperlipidemia, which are generally reduced and at times discontinued, postsurgery antidepressants use is only slightly reduced. The Roux-en-Y procedure is most frequently associated with alteration in drug exposure. Medication disintegration, dissolution, absorption, metabolism and excretion have been found to be altered in postbariatric patients, although data are sparse at this time. This paper will review the current evidence regarding the effect of bariatric surgery on drug treatment including mechanism of interference as well as the extent of changes identified to date. Data will be presented as controlled trials followed by case series and reports.
