چکیده

AIM To investigate whether oseltamivir enhances the anticoagulant effect of warfarin and to evaluate any pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction between the agents. METHODS Twenty volunteers (mean age 62 years) receiving daily warfarin and with INR values of 2.0-3.5 during the previous 2 weeks were randomized to concomitant oseltamivir 75 mg twice daily for 4.5 days or warfarin alone in a two-way cross-over design with a 4-8 day wash-out. Anticoagulant effects were assessed by calculating overall [AUEC(0,96 h)] and observed maximum effect (E(max) ) increase from baseline in INR, decrease from baseline in factor VIIa, and change in vitamin K₁ concentrations. Plasma pharmacokinetics of (R)- and (S)-warfarin and oseltamivir were also assessed. RESULTS For both treatments, changes in INR and factor VIIa during treatment were small; for net AUEC(0,96 h), least square mean values were -9.53 (oseltamivir + warfarin) and -1.69 h (warfarin alone) for INR (difference -7.84 h, 90% CI -18.86, 3.17 h), and 1.56 and 0.54 kIU l⁻¹ h, respectively, for factor VIIa (difference, 1.01 kIU l⁻¹ h; 90% CI -1.18, 3.21). Differences between the treatments in E(max) increase from baseline for INR, decrease from baseline for factor VIIa and change from baseline in vitamin K₁ concentration were not statistically significant. Oseltamivir did not alter warfarin pharmacokinetics. Oseltamivir was well tolerated in this study with no clinically significant adverse safety findings. CONCLUSION Concomitant administration of oseltamivir for 4.5 days to volunteers on daily warfarin had little or no effect on warfarin pharmacokinetics and no effect on pharmacodynamics.

Study on the possible similar mechanism of ultra low dose-induced hyperalgesia and development of tolerance to analgesia in male rats: an study based on the role of Gs signaling pathway

Introduction: Ultra low dose (ULD) morphine induces hyperalgesia which is mediated by excitatory Gscoupled opioid receptors. This study was designed to investigate the development of tolerance to hyperalgesic effect of morphine. Also we attempt to seek possible similarity, in view of Gs proteins, between hyperalgesic effect of ULD and hyperalgesic effect after tolerance to HD. Method: Male ...
