Medication and supplement pharmacokinetic changes following bariatric surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Obes Rev 2024:e13759. [PMID: 38710656 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
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
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Oral drug absorption after bariatric surgery is likely to be altered, but the impact of different bariatric surgery procedures on individual drugs is not uniform. The aim of this article is to describe factors influencing the bioavailability of orally administered drugs after bariatric surgery and to provide readers with practical recommendations for drug dosing. We also discuss the medications that may be harmful after bariatric surgery. RECENT FINDINGS The fundamental factors for enteral drug absorption are the production of gastric acid; the preserved length of the intestine, i.e., the size of the absorption surface and/or the preserved enterohepatic circulation; and the length of common loop where food and drugs are mixed with digestive enzymes and bile acids. Bypassing of metabolizing enzymes or efflux pumps and changes in intestinal motility can also play an important role. Significant changes of drug absorption early after the anatomic alteration may also be gradually ameliorated due to gradual intestinal adaptation. The most affected drugs are those with low or variable bioavailability and those undergoing enterohepatic circulation. Attention should also be paid to oral drug formulations, especially in the early postoperative period, when immediate-release and liquid formulations are preferred. The changes in oral bioavailability are especially clinically meaningful in patients treated with drugs possessing narrow therapeutic index (e.g., oral anticoagulants, levothyroxine, and anticonvulsants) or in acute conditions (e.g., anti-infectives); nevertheless, it may also influence the therapeutic value of chronic therapy (e.g., antidepressants. antihypertensives, antiplatelets, statins, PPIs, contraceptives, and analgesics); therapeutic effect of chronic therapy is further influenced by pharmacokinetic alterations resulting from weight loss. Therapeutic drug monitoring, periodical clinical evaluation, and adequate dose adjustments are necessary. Due to safety reasons, patients should avoid oral bisphosphonates, regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and, if possible, corticosteroids after 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.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obesity constitutes a major public health concern and has been recognized as an epidemic. To date, bariatric surgery remains the most effective way for substantial long-lasting weight loss in severe obesity. The purpose of this review is to summarize how the pharmacokinetics of drugs are affected by the most common types of bariatric surgery, i.e., Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG). RECENT FINDINGS Limited data are available regarding the changes in pharmacokinetics of drugs after bariatric surgery. The lack of existing guidelines may lead patients to experience drug toxicity or therapeutic undertreatment. Pharmacokinetic parameters that need to be taken into consideration postoperatively include gastric motility, gastric volume, pH, surface area, bile secretions, carrier proteins, and first-pass metabolism. For drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, other factors need to be monitored closely, including plasma drug levels, patients' clinical outcomes, and laboratory markers. Patients should be followed up frequently and treated in accordance with their response to the drug therapy. Bariatric surgery may affect the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, due to the resultant anatomical changes and the substantial weight loss. Therefore, there is a need to identify those potential changes and adjust patients' medication doses in order to achieve higher efficacy and avoid toxicity.

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
The determination of azithromycin in human plasma of pediatric patients was performed with a ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) assay. A simple sample preparation of protein precipitation was used and the separation was achieved on a C18 column by the gradient mixture of mobile phase A ( 0.1% acetic acid and 3 mM ammonium acetate in water) and the mobile phase B (0.1% acetic acid and 3 mM ammonium acetate in the solution of acetonitrile, methanol and water, 47.5/47.5/5, V/V/V). The multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was adopted to monitor the precursor-to-product ion transitions of m/z 749.6→m/z 591.5 for azithromycin and m/z 753.6→m/z 595.5 for azithromycin-13 C-d3 (IS) at positive ionization mode. The calibration curve ranged between 0.5 ng·mL-1 and 500.0 ng·mL-1 and the correlation coefficient was greater than 0.99. The intra- and inter-batch precision was less than 13.7%. Accuracy determined at four concentrations ranged from 99.5% to 110.8%. The extraction recoveries were more than 95% and the matrix effects were 98% - 100%. The stability under various conditions were acceptable with the accuracy deviation within 9.2%. In conclusion, our method was simple, sensitive and reliable for quantification of azithromycin in plasma among pediatric patients.

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
Bariatric surgery, which is an effective treatment for obesity, and gastrectomy, which is the primary treatment method for gastric cancer, alter the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system. Weight loss and changes in the gastrointestinal tract may affect the pharmacokinetic parameters of oral medications. Both bariatric and cancer patients use drugs chronically or temporarily. It is important to know how surgery affects their pharmacokinetics to ensure an effective and safe therapy. The Cochrane, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched independently by two authors. The search strategy included controlled vocabulary and keywords. Studies show that bariatric surgery and gastrectomy most often reduce the time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax) and decrease the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) in comparison with the values of these parameters measured in healthy volunteers. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are also observed. The effect depends on the type of surgery and the properties of the drug. It is recommended to use the drugs that have been tested on these groups of patients as it is possible to monitor them.

Abstract
Obese women are at high risk of unintended pregnancy. In addition, obesity is an important risk factor for venous thromboembolism events and arterial thrombosis. All of these data are to be considered in choosing a contraceptive method for obese women. The metabolic changes and the increased body mass of these women may be the cause of a reduction in the effectiveness of hormonal contraception. The progestin-only contraceptives (progestin only pills and etonogestrel subdermal implant) and the intra-uterine devices are the preferred contraceptive methods in women with obesity. The combined estrogen-progestin contraceptives may be proposed in young obese women without other cardiovascular risk factor. Obesity per se does not seem to increase the risk of failure of most contraceptive methods. Bariatric surgery is a complex situation. Contraception is needed for at least 12 months after surgery. Some bariatric surgery such as bypass can induce gastrointestinal malabsorption. In this situation, all oral contraceptives are not recommended because of a higher risk of failure.

Abstract
Bariatric or weight‐loss surgery is a popular option for weight reduction. Depending on the surgical procedure, gastric changes like decreased transit time and volume and increased pH, decreased absorption surface in the small intestine, decreased exposure to bile acids and enterohepatic circulation, and decreased gastrointestinal transit time may be expected. In the years after bariatric surgery, patients will also substantially lose weight. As a result of these changes, the absorption, distribution, metabolism and/or elimination of drugs may be altered. The purpose of this article is to report the general influence of bariatric surgery on oral drug absorption, and to provide guidance for dosing of commonly used drugs in this special population. Upon oral drug administration, the time to maximum concentration is often earlier and this concentration may be higher with less consistent effects on trough concentrations and exposure. Additionally, prescription of liquid formulations to bariatric patients is supported by some reports, even though the high sugar load of these suspensions may be of concern. Studies on extended‐release medications result in an unaltered exposure for a substantial number of drugs. Also, studies evaluating the influence of timing after surgery show dynamic absorption profiles. Although for this group specific advice can be proposed for many drugs, we conclude that there is insufficient evidence for general advice for oral drug therapy after bariatric surgery, implying that a risk assessment on a case‐by‐case basis is required for each drug.

Abstract
As COVID-19 has been expanding rapidly around the world, the types of patients and their backgrounds vary. The substantially altered GI anatomy/physiology after bariatric surgery presents new challenges to the field of oral drug therapy. In this report we highlight issues for consideration when treating COVID-19 patients who previously underwent bariatric surgery and provide practical tools to allow optimal care of these patients. Post-bariatric absorption/pharmacokinetic changes may warrant dose adjustment, as well as the use of liquid oral dosage forms or parenteral routes of administration, if available. Realizing the potentially altered pharmacokinetics of various drugs after bariatric surgery is essential for providing optimal pharmacological therapy and overall patient care.

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
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the existing literature to determine the effect of bariatric surgery on various pharmacokinetic parameters of oral antibiotic absorption as well as overall patient outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched up to February 2020. Outcomes of interest included change in pharmacokinetic parameters of oral antibiotics administered to patients following bariatric surgery, using variables such as maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), clearance, and volume of distribution. MINORS and Cochrane risk of bias tools were used to assess quality of evidence. RESULTS Ten studies with 100 patients assessing 8 oral antibiotics were included. The majority (77%) of patients underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), with fewer undergoing ventral banded gastroplasty (VBG) (14%), jejunoileostomy (6%), and jejunoileal bypass (3%). Antibiotic classes investigated included beta-lactams (5 studies), fluoroquinolones (2 studies), macrolides (2 studies), and oxazolidinones (1 study). Heterogeneity between studies precluded meaningful pooling or meta-analysis of data. Overall risk of bias was fair. CONCLUSION Patients given oral beta-lactams and macrolides warrant close monitoring due to unpredictable absorption post-bariatric surgery, whereas oral fluoroquinolones and linezolid may not be affected. Several studies also showed decreased absorption following RYGB, as well as lower serum exposure in patients with obesity compared to non-obese controls. Clinicians should monitor patients on a case-by-case basis for signs of antibiotic failure or toxicity and reassess dosing accordingly.

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
BACKGROUND Due to the malabsorptive nature of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), there is a potential for impaired absorption of oral medications. Clinical outcomes of patients who receive oral antibiotics after RYGB have not been adequately described in the literature. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was composite therapeutic failure. Secondary objectives included comparing failure rates between antibiotic classes and at various time points since RYGB. SETTING University hospital, United States. METHODS Patients with a history of RYGB and controls who received an eligible oral antibiotic for urinary tract infection, skin and soft tissue infection, or community acquired pneumonia between April 1, 2008, and September 30, 2015, were included via retrospective chart review. Therapeutic failure rates between groups were compared and adjusted for body mass index and infection type. Failure rates among antibiotic classes and various time points since RYGB (0-1 yr, 1-1.9 yr, and≥2 yr) were also compared. RESULTS A total of 58 RYGB and 128 controls met inclusion and exclusion criteria. Composite therapeutic failure occurred in the RYGB and control group in 14 (24.1%) and 20 patients (15.6%), respectively (P = .18; odds ratio, 1.8; 95% confidence interval .8-4.4). RYGB patients who received fluoroquinolones or sulfonamides had a significantly increased risk of therapeutic failure. CONCLUSIONS RYGB was not associated with a statistically significant increased risk of composite therapeutic failure of oral antibiotics in the treatment of urinary tract infection, skin and soft tissue infection, or community acquired pneumonia compared with patients with no history of gastrointestinal resection. Further research is warranted to understand clinical outcomes of RYGB patients who receive oral antibiotics.

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
AIMS Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) alters the anatomical structure of the gastrointestinal tract, which can result in alterations in drug disposition. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the oral disposition of two compounds belonging to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System Class II - fenofibrate (bile salt-dependent solubility) and posaconazole (gastric pH-dependent dissolution) - before and after RYGB in the same individuals. METHODS A single-dose pharmacokinetic study with two model compounds - namely, 67 mg fenofibrate (Lipanthyl®) and 400 mg posaconazole (Noxafil®) - was performed in 12 volunteers pre- and post-RYGB. After oral administration, blood samples were collected at different time points up to 48 h after administration. Plasma concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography in order to calculate the area under the concentration-time curve up to 48 h (AUC0-48 h ), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and the time to reach peak concentration (Tmax ). RESULTS After administration of fenofibrate, no relevant differences in AUC0-48 h , Cmax and Tmax between the pre- and postoperative setting were observed. The geometric mean of the ratio of AUC0-48 h post/pre-RYGB for fenofibrate was 1.10 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.87, 1.40; P = 0.40]. For posaconazole, an important decrease in AUC0-48 h and Cmax following RYGB was shown; the geometric mean of the AUC0-48 h post/pre-RYGB ratio was 0.68 (95% CI 0.48, 0.96; P = 0.03) and the geometric mean of the Cmax pre/post-RYGB ratio was 0.60 (95% CI 0.39, 0.94; P = 0.03). The decreased exposure of posaconazole could be explained by the increased gastric pH and accelerated gastric emptying of fluids post-RYGB. No difference for Tmax was observed. CONCLUSIONS The disposition of fenofibrate was not altered after RYGB, whereas the oral disposition of posaconazole was significantly decreased following RYGB.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate the disposition of metoprolol after oral administration of an immediate and controlled-release formulation before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery in the same individuals and to validate a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for predicting oral bioavailability following RYGB. METHODS A single-dose pharmacokinetic study of metoprolol tartrate 200 mg immediate release and controlled release was performed in 14 volunteers before and 6-8 months after RYGB. The observed data were compared with predicted results from the PBPK modelling and simulation of metoprolol tartrate immediate and controlled-release formulation before and after RYGB. RESULTS After administration of metoprolol immediate and controlled release, no statistically significant difference in the observed area under the curve (AUC(0-24 h)) was shown, although a tendency towards an increased oral exposure could be observed as the AUC(0-24 h) was 32.4% [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.36, 63.5] and 55.9% (95% CI 5.73, 106) higher following RYGB for the immediate and controlled-release formulation, respectively. This could be explained by surgery-related weight loss and a reduced presystemic biotransformation in the proximal gastrointestinal tract. The PBPK values predicted by modelling and simulation were similar to the observed data, confirming its validity. CONCLUSIONS The disposition of metoprolol from an immediate-release and a controlled-release formulation was not significantly altered after RYGB; there was a tendency to an increase, which was also predicted by PBPK modelling and simulation.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVES Patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bariatric (RYGB) surgery present a reduced absorption site, and special attention should therefore be taken when prescribing oral-dosage forms. This study was carried out to investigate the extent to which non-bariatric clinicians are aware of this issue when prescribing medicines for this population, and what type of information is available to aid them in their decision-making. METHODS Two questionnaires were created, one for non-bariatric clinicians and another for their patients who had undergone RYGB surgery, to gather information about the prescription practices for this population. Additionally, a literature search of pharmacokinetic studies on bariatric patients and recommended prescription practices was carried out. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Of the 62 non-bariatric clinicians surveyed, 50% believed RYGB surgery interferes with drug absorption; however, 68% still prescribed tablets as the first choice form of dosage. Young clinicians (35%) were less likely to believe that RYGB surgery could affect drug absorption than experienced clinicians (43%). The main reasons for changing dosage forms were patient complaints about efficacy or difficulty in swallowing tablets. Of the 73 patients, 43 were taking drugs in tablet form after the surgery, 24 of whom had health issues unrelated to the surgery. None of the journals read by the clinicians contained pharmacokinetics (PK) studies involving bariatric surgery patients or presented recommendations for the prescription of oral-dosage forms for this population. The literature search revealed a total of 22 drugs that had undergone PK studies in RYGB patients. Fifteen of them were reported to have decreased effects, 12 of which were administered as tablets. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION There is still a relative lack of clinical evidence to guide clinicians when prescribing medicines for bariatric patients. It is therefore recommended that pharmacists should have greater participation in the prescription process to advise non-bariatric clinicians and educate RYGB surgery patients to help avoid therapeutic failure.

Abstract
Purpose of review Obesity has been shown to be associated with antibiotic underdosing and treatment failure. This article reviews the recent literature on antibiotic dosing in obese patients with pneumonia. Recent findings Obesity is associated with several alterations in antibiotic pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including increases in the antibiotic volume of distribution and clearance. These alterations necessitate changes in the dosing of certain antibiotics. However, data on antibiotic dosing for pneumonia in obese patients are limited and come mainly from observational studies. Additionally, dosing recommendations are often extrapolated from healthy obese volunteers and from the studies of antibiotics given for other indications. Summary Recognizing obesity-related pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic alterations is important in treating obese patients with pneumonia. Studies that evaluate such alterations and assess the impact of antibiotic dosing and delivery on the clinical outcomes of this patient population are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity surgery is acknowledged as a highly effective therapy for morbidly obese patients. Beneficial short-term effects on common comorbidities are practically undisputed, but a growing data pool from long-term follow-up reveals increasing evidence of potentially severe nutritional and pharmacological consequences. AIMS To assess the prevalence, causes and symptoms of complications after obesity surgery, to elucidate and compare therapy recommendations for macro- and micronutrient deficiencies, and to explore surgically-induced effects on drug absorption and bioavailability, discussing ramifications for long-term therapy and prophylaxis. METHODS PubMed, Embase and MEDLINE were searched using terms including, but not limited to, bariatric surgery, gastric bypass, obesity surgery and Roux-en-Y, coupled with secondary search terms, e.g. anaemia, micronutrients, vitamin deficiency, bacterial overgrowth, drug absorption, pharmacokinetics, undernutrition. All studies in English, French or German published January 1980 through March 2014 were included. RESULTS Macro- and micronutrient deficiencies are common after obesity surgery. The most critical, depending on surgical technique, are hypoalbuminemia (3-18%) and deficiencies of vitamins B1 (≤49%), B12 (19-35%) and D (25-73%), iron (17-45%) and zinc (12-91%). Many drugs commonly administered to obese patients (e.g. anti-depressants, anti-microbials, metformin) are subject to post-operative and/or PPI-associated changes affecting bioavailability and absorption. CONCLUSIONS Complications are associated with pre-operative and/or post-operative malnutrition or procedure-related changes in intake, absorption and drug bioavailability. The high prevalence of nutrient deficiencies after obesity surgery makes life-long nutritional monitoring and supplementation essential. Post-operative changes to drug absorption and bioavailability in bariatric patients cast doubt on the validity of standard drug dosage and administration recommendations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Given the ever increasing number of obese patients and obesity related bypass surgery, dosing recommendations in the post-bypass population are needed. Using a population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and PK-pharmacodynamic (PD) simulations, we investigated whether adequate moxifloxacin concentrations are achieved in this population. METHODS In this modelling and simulation study we used data from a trial on moxifloxacin PK. In this trial, volunteers who had previously undergone bariatric surgery (at least 6 months prior to inclusion), received two doses (intravenous and oral) of 400 mg moxifloxacin administered on two occasions. RESULTS In contrast to other papers, we found that moxifloxacin PK were best described by a three compartmental model using lean body mass (LBM) as a predictor for moxifloxacin clearance. Furthermore, we showed that the probability of target attainment for bacterial eradication against a hypothetical Streptococcus pneumoniae infection is compromised in patients with higher LBM, especially when targeting microorganisms with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.5 mg l(-1) or higher (probability of target attainment (PTA) approaching zero). When considering the targets for suppression of bacterial resistance formation, even at MIC values as low as 0.25 mg l(-1) , standard moxifloxacin dosing does not attain adequate levels in this population. Furthermore, for patients with a LBM of 78 kg or higher, the probability of hitting this target approaches zero. CONCLUSIONS Throughout our PK-PD simulation study, it became apparent that, whenever optimal bacterial resistance suppression is deemed necessary, the standard moxifloxacin dosing will not be sufficient. Furthermore, our study emphasizes the need for a LBM based individualized dosing of moxifloxacin in this patient population.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, obesity has become an epidemic in the 21st century affecting around 300 million people of all ages worldwide. Clinical treatment modalities for this disease are limited and ineffective when it comes to morbidly obese patients (body mass index – the weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared – surpasses 40 kg/m2). Therefore, the alternative, surgical treatment, is the best option for these patients, namely gastric restrictive procedures or an intestinal bypass culminating in a malabsorptive syndrome. In the past 20 years, there has been a 70% increase in the number of bariatric procedures all over the world. The main pharmacokinetic consequence observed in the postoperative period of these individuals is a higher or lower absorption of orally administered drugs.

Abstract
A liquid chromatographic mass spectrometric assay for the quantification of azithromycin in human plasma was developed. Azithromycin and imipramine (as internal standard, IS) were extracted from 0.5 mL human plasma using extraction with diethyl ether under alkaline conditions. Chromatographic separation of drug and IS was performed using a C18 column at room temperature. A mobile phase consisting of methanol, water, ammonium hydroxide and ammonium acetate was pumped at 0.2 mL/min. The mass spectrometer was operated in positive ion mode and selected ion recording acquisition mode. The ions utilized for quantification of azithromycin and IS were m/z 749.6 (M + H)(+) and m/z 591.4 (fragment) for azithromycin, and 281.1 m/z for internal standard; retention times were 6.9 and 3.4 min, respectively. The calibration curves were linear (r(2) > 0.999) in the concentration ranges of 10-1000 ng/mL. The mean absolute recoveries for 50 and 500 ng/mL azithromycin and 1 µg/ mL IS were >75%. The percentage coefficient of variation and mean error were <11%. Based on validation data, the lower limit of quantification was 10 ng/mL. The present method was successfully applied to determine azithromycin pharmacokinetic parameters in two obese volunteers. The assay had applicability for use in pharmacokinetic studies.
