Abstract
A quick literature search using "sex/gender" vs. the commonly used hypnotic propofol or neuromuscular-blocking agent cisatracurium will reveal numerous contradictory sex difference publications depending on the ethnic-geographic location of where these studies were conducted. We induced anesthesia with cisatracurium besylate (GlaxoSmithKline) 100 μg kg-1 administered exactly 1 minute following propofol (AstraZeneca) 2 mg kg-1 . In 20 male and 20 female ethnic Han-Chinese test set patients (Xi'an China), and in similar ethnic white Austrian validation set patients (Graz Austria), we quantified propofol/cisatracurium pharmacodynamic parameters namely propofol onset time, lag time, plasma concentrations (Cp ) at loss-of-behavioral response (LOBR) using bispectral index (BIS); cisatracurium onset time, lag time, and Cp at T1 % (first twitch of train-of-four) complete twitch suppression using mechanomyography (MMG). Serial arterial blood samples were collected for population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) analysis of all demographic and biological covariates (region, sex, age, weight, and height) versus volumes of distribution and clearances pharmacokinetic parameters. In Chinese women (but not in white women), propofol Cp at LOBR was 33.60% lower than men and cisatracurium Cp at T1 % complete twitch suppression was 21.49% lower than men, a clear pharmacodynamic assertion. Region and weight were significant PopPK covariates. We demonstrated that sex differences are influenced by ethnic-geographic location as only in Chinese women (but not in white women) propofol Cp at LOBR and cisatracurium Cp at T1 % complete twitch suppression were lower than in men. When defining sex differences, ethnic-geographic location should be taken into consideration as a predictive factor for optimizing propofol/cisatracurium initial loading recommended dosages.

Abstract
The most commonly prescribed oral anticoagulants worldwide are the vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) such as warfarin. Factors affecting the pharmacokinetics of VKAs are important because deviations from their narrow therapeutic window can result in bleedings due to over-anticoagulation or thrombosis because of under-anticoagulation. In addition to pharmacodynamic interactions (e.g., augmented bleeding risk for concomitant use of NSAIDs), interactions with drugs, foods, herbs, and over-the-counter medications may affect the risk/benefit ratio of VKAs. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) including Factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban) and thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran) are poised to replace warfarin. Phase-3 studies and real-world evaluations have established that the safety profile of DOACs is superior to those of VKAs. However, some pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions are expected. Herein we present a critical review of VKAs and DOACs with focus on their potential for interactions with drugs, foods, herbs and over-the-counter medications.

Abstract
Background Proarrhythmia assessment is one of the major concerns for regulatory bodies and pharmaceutical industry. ICH guidelines recommending preclinical tests have been established in attempt to eliminate the risk of drug-induced arrhythmias. However, in the clinic, arrhythmia occurrence is determined not only by the inherent property of a drug to block ion currents and disturb electrophysiological activity of cardiac myocytes, but also by many other factors modifying individual risk of QT prolongation and subsequent proarrhythmia propensity. One of those is drug-drug interactions. Since polypharmacy is a common practice in clinical settings, it can be anticipated that there is a relatively high risk that the patient will receive at least two drugs mutually modifying their proarrhythmic potential and resulting either in triggering the occurrence or mitigating the clinical symptoms. The mechanism can be observed either directly at the pharmacodynamic level by competing for the molecular targets, or indirectly by modifying the physiological parameters, or at the pharmacokinetic level by alteration of the active concentration of the victim drug. Methods This publication provides an overview of published clinical studies on pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions in humans and their electrophysiological consequences (QT interval modification). Databases of PubMed and Scopus were searched and combinations of the following keywords were used for Title, Abstract and Keywords fields: interaction, coadministration, combination, DDI and electrocardiographic, QTc interval, ECG. Only human studies were included. Over 4500 publications were retrieved and underwent preliminary assessment to identify papers accordant with the topic of this review. 76 papers reporting results for 96 drug combinations were found and analyzed. Results The results show the tremendous variability of drug-drug interaction effects, which makes one aware of complexity of the problem, and suggests the need for assessment of an additional risk factors and careful ECG monitoring before administration of drugs with anticipated QT prolongation. Conclusions DDIs can play significant roles in drugs’ cardiac safety, as evidenced by the provided examples. Assessment of the pharmacodynamic effects of the drug interactions is more challenging as compared to the pharmacokinetic due to the significant diversity in the endpoints which should be analyzed specifically for various clinical effects. Nevertheless, PD components of DDIs should be accounted for as PK changes alone do not allow to fully explain the electrophysiological effects in clinic situations.

Abstract
AIM To identify risk factors for severe liver injury or mortality from drug-induced liver injury (DILI) from amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. To determine if co-administration of potentially hepatotoxic drugs was associated with an increased risk of DILI from amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the published work and data extraction of articles on DILI injury from amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Potentially hepatotoxic drugs were defined as medications with DILI listed in the package insert or reported in the published work. Individual patient data were entered into an SPSS (version 17.0; Chicago, IL, USA) database and were analyzed using the χ(2) -test or Fisher's exact test; Student's t-test; and non-parametric tests such as Mann-Whitney U-test as appropriate. RESULTS We identified 3932 articles of which 41 publications with 255 reported cases met inclusion criteria. Mortality from DILI from amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was increased among patients receiving concomitant potentially hepatotoxic drugs compared with patients not on concomitant potential hepatotoxic drugs (21.4% [3/14] vs 2.3% [2/89], P = 0.017]. The most common classes of concomitant drugs were: antimicrobials, analgesics and hormonal therapy. Female patients were more likely to receive a concomitant potentially hepatotoxic medication (25% vs 9.1% for men, P = 0.05). CONCLUSION Patients who developed severe or fatal DILI from amoxicillin-clavulanic acid were more likely to be on concomitant hepatotoxic medications. Female patients were more likely to receive concomitant hepatotoxic drugs. Further studies are needed to investigate drug interaction between amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and concomitant potentially hepatotoxic drugs.

Abstract
Background Statins are cholesterol-lowering drugs widely used for cardiovascular prevention. Although safe when used alone, in combination with other drugs the likelihood of adverse drug reactions increases significantly. The exposure of the Bulgarian population to coprescriptions leading to potential statin-drug interactions is currently unknown. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of coprescriptions involving statins and to compare the exposure of outpatients and inpatients to potential statin-drug interactions. Setting A cardiology clinic of the teaching University hospital in Varna, Bulgaria. Method This observational retrospective study examined the medical records of hospitalized patients prescribed a statin in combination with potentially interacting drugs. Patients who entered the hospital with a statin coprescription (considered outpatients) were compared with those coprescribed a statin at discharge from hospital (considered inpatients). Potentially interacting drugs included inhibitors and inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and drugs of narrow safety margin (coumarin anticoagulants, digitalis). Main outcome measure The proportion of patients exposed to statin coprescriptions with potentially interacting drugs at hospital admission and discharge. Secondary outcome measures: laboratory evidence supporting possible statin-drug interactions. Results Out of 1641 hospitalized patients examined, 572 were prescribed a statin, either at hospital admission or discharge. Simvastatin was most commonly prescribed and simvastatin-drug coprescription predominated, especially at discharge. The exposure to all potential statin-drug interactions was similar at hospital admission (26.1%) and discharge (24.4%), as was the exposure to statin combinations with CYP inhibitors, 6.4% and 4%, correspondingly. Overall, more coprescriptions were generated, than were eliminated by hospital physicians. Amiodarone was the CYP inhibitor most frequently coprescribed. Of all interacting drugs acenocoumarol was the most commonly found, the proportions of statin-acenocoumarol coprescriptions being roughly the same at hospital entry (11.5%) and discharge (12.4%). In 7 patients out of 69 exposed to the combination, INR was found to be higher than 3, indicating a risk of over-anticoagulation. Conclusions Potential statin-drug interactions are common. Although they do not differ between outpatient and inpatient settings, new hazardous coprescriptions are more frequently generated in hospital. Caution is required when acenocoumarol is coprescribed with statins, especially simvastatin.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to develop a PK/PD model to assess drug-drug interactions between dabigatran and P-gp modulators, using the example of clarithromycin, a strong inhibitor of P-gp. METHODS Ten healthy male volunteers were randomized to receive in the first treatment period a single 300 mg dose of dabigatran etexilate (DE) and in the second treatment period 500 mg clarithromycin twice daily during 3 days and then 300 mg DE plus 500 mg clarithromycin on the fourth day, or the same treatments in the reverse sequence. Dabigatran plasma concentration and ecarin clotting time (ECT) were measured on 11 blood samples. Models were built using a non-linear mixed effect modelling approach. RESULTS The best PK model was based on an inverse Gaussian absorption process with two compartments. The relationship between dabigatran concentration and ECT was implemented as a linear function. No continuous covariate was associated with a significant decrease in the objective function. The concomitant administration of clarithromycin induced a significant change only in DE bioavailability, which increased from 6.5% to 10.1% in the presence of clarithromycin. Clarithromycin increased peak concentration and AUC by 60.2% and 49.1% respectively. CONCLUSION The model proposed effectively describes the complex PK of dabigatran and takes into account drug-drug interactions with P-gp activity modulators, such as clarithromycin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although a well-known complication in certain medical specialties, major bleeding due to the interaction between oral anticoagulants and antibiotics has been rarely reported concerning the upper aerodigestive tract. We report three cases of life-threatening bleeding of the upper aerodigestive tract in a context of antibiotic therapy in patients treated with oral anticoagulants. CASE SERIES Three male patients under coumadin anticoagulation therapy presented major bleeding in three different contexts (epistaxis, peritonsillar abscess and postoperative course after total laryngectomy). Surgical intervention for hemostasis was required in all cases, with coagulation correction in two. Complications were severe anemia (2/3) and chronic heart failure (1/3). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS Interactions between two drugs commonly used in otolaryngology can result in major bleeding. The goal of this article is to raise practitioners' awareness of a potentially fatal, although rare, complication. We also review the main preventive strategies.
