HLA genotype testing for carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and eslicarbazepine: A guideline developed by the UK Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI‐PGx)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Carbamazepine is licensed in the United Kingdom for the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and trigeminal neuralgia. The related compounds oxcarbazepine and eslicarbazepine are licensed for the treatment of epilepsy. These drugs can cause immune‐mediated hypersensitivity reactions, which typically affect the skin, and can be of variable severity ...

Impact of empiric potassium supplementation on mortality, sudden cardiac arrest and stroke in furosemide initiators

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim A prior non‐randomized study suggests that potassium supplementation may improve survival among furosemide initiators, and a randomized trial suggests that salt substitutes containing potassium might lower stroke risk. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using health‐care data to confirm or refute these associations among new users of ...

Endogenous melatonin partial metabolic clearance as a potential endogenous marker of CYP1A2 activity

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) exhibits substantial interindividual variability, necessitating appropriate phenotyping strategies for personalized pharmacotherapy. This study evaluated endogenous melatonin partial metabolic clearance (CLm(MEL)), calculated from urinary 6‐hydroxymelatonin (6‐O‐MEL) excretion and plasma melatonin (MEL) exposure, as a ...

Supratherapeutic drug concentration triggers: A novel data‐driven approach to assess their value for medication safety surveillance in intensive care

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Electronic triggers (e‐triggers) are used as screening signals to detect potential adverse drug events (ADEs) and offer an effective system level approach for medication safety surveillance. Their clinical utility is typically evaluated through time‐consuming manual chart review by experts, limiting implementation.

Voclosporin‐induced gingival enlargement: A case report

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Drug‐influenced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a recognized adverse effect of certain medications, particularly immunosuppressants like cyclosporin and tacrolimus. However, there have been no documented cases of DIGE associated with voclosporin, a newer calcineurin inhibitor used primarily to treat lupus nephritis.
