mechanism:
None (27) ·
Competitive antagonist at OX1R and OX2R. Faster receptor association/dissociation kinetics than suvorexant (~16 sec dissociation vs ~57 sec) hypothesized to support sleep onset, with sufficient duration for maintenance. (1) ·
Competitive antagonist at OX1R and OX2R. First-in-class DORA. Receptor dissociation slower than lemborexant or daridorexant. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000053-QINU`"' Also raises bradykinin, contributing to vasodilation and the characteristic dry cough. Renally cleared, unmetabolized; dose-adjust by eGFR'"`UNIQ--ref-00000054-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000073-QINU`"' The long half-life gives smooth, once-daily BP control with low rebound. CYP3A4 substrate; pedal edema is the characteristic, dose-related, non-fluid-overload side effect'"`UNIQ--ref-00000074-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000000B6-QINU`"' Active metabolite EXP3174 is ~10-40-fold more potent than the parent and accounts for most of the antihypertensive effect; CYP2C9 polymorphism affects conversion'"`UNIQ--ref-000000B7-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000000F7-QINU`"' Minimal CYP3A4 dependence (CYP2C9 minor) reduces drug-drug interactions; transport in and out of hepatocytes is largely via OATP1B1, making SLCO1B1 PGx genotype the most clinically actionable marker for statin-associated myopathy'"`UNIQ--ref-000000F8-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000391-QINU`"' Minimal CYP metabolism; mostly renally cleared unchanged. Cetirizine is the active racemate; levocetirizine is the active R-enantiomer marketed separately'"`UNIQ--ref-00000392-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000003D1-QINU`"' SLCO1B1 polymorphism affects exposure but is most clinically actionable for simvastatin'"`UNIQ--ref-000003D2-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000004A9-QINU`"' Modest HDL rise; LDL effects mixed. Renally cleared; combination with statin carries elevated myopathy risk (greater for gemfibrozil than fenofibrate, but caution still warranted)'"`UNIQ--ref-000004AA-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000004C8-QINU`"' Largely hepatically cleared (~80% biliary); no active metabolite. Sacubitril-valsartan (Entresto) combines an ARB with neprilysin inhibition for HFrEF and was a notable advance over the ARB-alone trial (PARADIGM-HF, 2014)'"`UNIQ--ref-000004C9-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-0000050D-QINU`"' CYP3A4 (primary) and P-glycoprotein substrate; strong dual inhibitors or inducers materially shift exposure. Reversal: andexanet alfa for life-threatening bleeding; 4F-PCC commonly used off-label when andexanet unavailable'"`UNIQ--ref-0000050E-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-0000061E-QINU`"' Less reliably anticholinergic than first-generation H1s; minimal antiemetic effect. Desloratadine (Clarinex) is the active enantiomer-of-metabolite version marketed as a Rx alternative. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000762-QINU`"' Largely renally cleared, hence the eGFR-tiered dosing. Rare but well-documented signals: acute pancreatitis (uncertain causal contribution), severe joint pain, and bullous pemphigoid (class effect, especially in older Asian patients)'"`UNIQ--ref-00000763-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-0000083E-QINU`"' CYP2C9 substrate; no clinically active metabolites. The IDNT trial established renoprotection in diabetic nephropathy independent of BP lowering, contributing to the ARB class indication in T2DM with proteinuria'"`UNIQ--ref-0000083F-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000950-QINU`"' Mostly renally cleared unchanged; dose-reduce in renal impairment. Like cetirizine, retains slightly more sedation than fexofenadine in some users'"`UNIQ--ref-00000951-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000A1D-QINU`"' Like other ACE inhibitors, it raises bradykinin (driving the dry cough and rare angioedema). Renally cleared; dose-adjust in renal impairment'"`UNIQ--ref-00000A1E-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000AEA-QINU`"' The 24-hour half-life supports once-daily dosing with consistent overnight BP control. Largely hepatically cleared (~98% biliary); no significant renal clearance dependence'"`UNIQ--ref-00000AEB-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000D7A-QINU`"' Substantial QT-interval prolongation — the most QT-prolonging fluoroquinolone — limits use in patients on other QT-prolonging agents or with electrolyte abnormalities'"`UNIQ--ref-00000D7B-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000DFA-QINU`"' CYP3A4 substrate; QT-interval prolongation has been reported at higher doses. Like other antimuscarinics, contributes to cumulative anticholinergic burden in older adults'"`UNIQ--ref-00000DFB-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000ECD-QINU`"' Agranulocytosis is the most-feared adverse effect (~0.3%, usually first 90 days of treatment; warn patients to seek urgent CBC for fever or severe sore throat). Hepatotoxicity is class-recognized but more often associated with PTU'"`UNIQ--ref-00000ECE-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-0000111B-QINU`"' Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome is a recognized class effect. Recently emerging evidence (observational) suggests possible Parkinson's disease risk reduction via PGK1 binding — investigational and not a clinical indication'"`UNIQ--ref-0000111C-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00001197-QINU`"' Extracellular cGMP separately activates submucosal sensory afferents in a way that reduces visceral pain perception, distinguishing linaclotide from purely osmotic laxatives in IBS-C. Diarrhea is the dose-limiting effect'"`UNIQ--ref-00001198-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-000011F4-QINU`"' Like all NSAIDs, raises CV thrombotic risk modestly (FDA 2014/2015 advisory) and produces GI, renal, hypertensive, and platelet-inhibitory effects characteristic of the class'"`UNIQ--ref-000011F5-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-0000124C-QINU`"' The 400 mg/d dose for migraine prophylaxis is supported by randomized trials (Schoenen 1998) and remains a low-risk evidence-based supplement option. Characteristic bright-yellow urine fluorescence with high-dose oral supplementation. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00001549-QINU`"' Metabolic effects (weight gain, dyslipidemia, glucose dysregulation) dominate the long-term tolerability profile; routine metabolic monitoring is standard'"`UNIQ--ref-0000154A-QINU`"'. (1)
