Continuous Subcutaneous Ketamine Infusion May Induce Tacrolimus and Sirolimus Clearance: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Drug interactions involving immunosuppressants can compromise transplant outcomes. Although repeated ketamine administration induces hepatic enzymes in experimental models, clinical reports of induced clearance of cytochrome P450 (CYP) substrates are lacking. Continuous subcutaneous ketamine infusions are increasingly used for acute
