Ventilatory Response to Hypercapnia as Experimental Model to Study Effects of Oxycodone on Respiratory Depression
CONCLUSIONS: This model for testing ventilatory response to hypercapnia discriminated the effect of 30 mg of oxycodone vs. placebo for up to 3 hours after a single dose. It may serve as a method to predict the relative effect of a drug on respiratory depression.PMID:33632110 | DOI:10.2174/1574884716666210225083213 (Source: Current Clinical Pharmacology)

Population Pharmacokinetics of Levetiracetam: a Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: Significant predictors for LEV pharmacokinetics are highlighted in this review. For future research, a population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model using a larger sample size should be conducted. From a clinical perspective, the published models should be externally evaluated before clinical implementation.PMID:33622228 | DOI:10.2174/1574884716666210223110658 (Source: Current Clinical Pharmacology)

STABIL-study: The Course of Therapy, Safety and Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Conversion of Prograf ® to Tacrolimus HEXAL®/Crilomus® in Renal Transplant Recipients - an Observational Study in Germany
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, conversion to the generic tacrolimus formulation can be considered safe and feasible in long-term kidney transplant recipients in Germany. As suggested by guidelines, a vigilant therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended to account for possible tacrolimus concentration variability on the individual patient level.PMID:33588739 | DOI:10.2174/1574884716666210215102756 (Source: Current Clinical Pharmacology)

Opioid dependency and myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Morphine dependency was significantly related to MI, but its risk factors were not significantly associated with morphine dependency. The increasing prevalence of opioid abuse in developing countries may be a reason for the growing incidence of MI in younger ages and individuals with no risk factors. Besides, physicians should consider the presence of impurities in morphine-based opioids and its possible effects on health.
