Pharmacy & Therapeutics P&T ; Update February and March 2006 Methodist Healthcare-Memphis Hospitals MHMH Penicillin Desensitization Guidelines Penicillin desensitization should only be considered in patients with a documented type 1 hypersensitivity. Desensitization may be performed at any Methodist hospital. The following restrictions apply to penicillin desensitization procedures: - The ordering physician should be an infectious disease physician or allergist, or the ordering physician should consult with an infectious disease physician or allergist. - The ordering physician should be available in the hospital at all times or arrange for another specific physician to be in the hospital at all times. - The patient should be transferred to the critical care unit. Specific procedure and dosing guidelines can be retrieved on MOLLI: Drug Information. Antibiotic Issues Gatifloxacin is being replaced with moxifloxacin on the CAP Care Track and pre-printed orders. However, the P & T committee approved a therapeutic interchange for gatifloxacin to levofloxacin for all other orders. IV and PO ciprofloxacin were added to formulary. The hospital now has an ample supply of cefepime. The pharmacy department will discontinue the interchange to ceftazidime Preliminary data from the tigecycline Tygacil ; medication use evaluation was presented. The Committee continues to support the restriction of this agent to ID specialists during the 6-month probationary period. Moxifloxacin was added to the list of eligible medications for criteria-based IV to PO conversion. Formulary Update "DNS" medication orders for Claritin D will be substituted with loratadine 10 mg + pseudoephedrine 120 mg BID. Claritin D will not be stocked. Sargramostim Leukine ; will be interchanged to filgrastim Neupogen ; : For neutropenic fever prophylaxis or treatment: Sargramostim 500 mcg daily to filgrastim 5 mcg kg day - round dose to nearest vial size 300 mcg or 480 mcg ; Orders for Ambien CR will be interchanged to Ambien. The following conversions will be used: Ambien CR 6.25 mg to Ambien 5 mg and Ambien CR 12.5 mg to Ambien 10 mg Pregabqlin Lyrica ; is FDA-approved for the management of postherpetic and neuropathic pain. However, Lyrica is restricted to continuation of home therapy at MHMH. Alternative therapies gabapentin, tricyclic antidepressants ; should be used for "new starts." Zemplar, a paricalcitol agent, was added to the formulary. Current Severe Shortages Albuterol Inhalers: - Please allow your patients to use their home albuterol inhalers whenever possible. IV Protonix and IV Prevacid Shortages - MHMH has a very limited supply of IV pantoprazole and IV lansoprazole. IV esomeprazole Nexium ; is an available alternative. - Please limit IV proton pump inhibitors to GI bleed only.

Synopsis According to a report in Neurology, pregabalin [ S ; -3-isobutyl GABA] is a safe and efficacious treatment for postherpetic neuralgia PHN ; . In the double-blind, randomised controlled 8-week study, 173 patients with pain for 3 months or more following herpes zoster rash healing were assigned to 600 mg day pregabalin, 300 mg day pregabalin, or placebo. The main efficacy measure was the mean of the last seven daily pain scores. Secondary outcome measures included additional pain scores, sleep interference, quality of life, mood, and patient and clinician ratings of improvement. Decreases in pain were significantly greater in patients treated with pregabalin than in those treated with placebo endpoint mean scores 3.60 and 5.29, respectively p 0.0001 ; . Significant reductions in pain were observed in pregabalin-treated patients after the first full day of treatment and throughout the study period. Reductions in pain of at least 30% were observed in 63% of pregabalin-treated patients and 25% of placebo-treated patients p 0.001 ; . Fifty percent or greater pain reductions were reported in 50% and 20% of pregabalin-treated and placebo-treated patients, respectively p 0.001 ; . Those treated with pregabalin had significantly improved sleep compared to those who received placebo p 0.0001 ; . There was a higher incidence of side effects in the pregabalin group.

Pharmacologically related to gabapentin NeurontinTM ; . Previous studies have shown that ptegabalin reduces the release of neurotransmitters in several in vitro preparations, although the molecular details of these effects are less clear. The present study was performed using living cultured rat hippocampal neurons with the synaptic vesicle fluorescent dye probe, FM4-64, to determine details of the action of pregabqlin to reduce neurotransmitter release. Our results indicate that preggabalin treatment, at concentrations that are therapeutically relevant, slightly but significantly reduces the emptying of neurotransmitter vesicles from presynaptic sites in living neurons. Dye release is reduced in both glutamic acid decarboxylase GAD ; immunoreactive and GAD-negative presumed glutamatergic ; synaptic terminals. Furthermore, both calcium-dependent release and hyperosmotic calcium-independent ; dye release are reduced by pregabalin. The effects of pregabalin on dye release are masked in the presence of L-isoleucine, consistent with the fact that both of these compounds have a high binding affinity to the calcium channel 2- protein. The effect of pregabalin is not apparent in the presence of an N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist AP5 ; , suggesting that pregabalin action depends on NMDA receptor activation. Finally, the action of pregabalin on dye release is most apparent before and early during a train of electrical stimuli when vesicle release preferentially involves the readily-releasable pool and
lovastatin.
After 4 hours of hemodialysis, the plasma concentrations of pregabalin decrease by 50.
SMC Recommendation For more details see scottishmedicines Restricted use: pregabalin Lyrica ; is accepted for restricted use within NHS Scotland as adjunctive therapy in adults with partial seizures with or without secondary generalisation. It should be initiated only by physicians who have appropriate experience in the treatment of epilepsy and should be used principally in patients who have not benefited from treatment with an older anti-convulsant drug such as carbamazepine or sodium valproate, or for whom these drugs are unsuitable because of contra-indications, interaction or poor tolerance. NOT RECOMMENDED: pregabalin Lyrica ; is not recommended for use within NHS Scotland for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain in adults. Comparative clinical and cost effectiveness have not been demonstrated. Further controlled data are needed to establish its place in therapy in patients refractory to or intolerant of other pharmacological treatments and mevacor.

The first step in symptom management should be to aim for stable and optimal symptom control. Pharmacologically, as is the case in the United States, until recently the tricyclic antidepressants have been the first-line agents for symptomatic treatment of DPN in Europe.3 Imipramine and amitriptyline dosed from 25 mg to 150 mg at bedtime have proven effective in controlled studies. They provide early symptomatic relief in days, and the pain relief is independent of mood changes. But the frequent adverse anticholinergic events associated with these drugs have resulted in their replacement. However, there is little European experience with the SNRI venlafaxine. Whereas SNRIs are commonly used for depression, they are not frequently used in neuropathy. Antiepileptics are replacing the TCAs as the first-line treatment in Europe. The anticonvulsants have revolutionized the treatment of DPN. Gabapentin has been the most commonly prescribed anticonvulsant for treating DPN. Dosage titration is important because most patients require 1.8 g day for relief of symptoms.4 Somnolence, dizziness, and gait and balance problems are possible side effects. Pregabalin is a structurally related compound that received US FDA approval to treat diabetic neuropathy in January 2005. It has similar, but fewer, side effects to those of gabapentin, and patients tolerate more rapid titration to 150-300 mg b.i.d. with this drug. The UK experience with pregabalin since mid-2005 supports this clinically. Our experience has been that it is preferable to start at a lower-than-effective dose ie, 75 mg at bedtime ; and titrate as needed. This is particularly important in elderly patients who may be more susceptible to side 14.

A large number of neuroanatomical, neurophysiologic, and neurochemical mechanisms are thought to contribute to the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain NP ; . As result, a corresponding wide range of treatments have been employed to treat patients with NP, including antiepileptic drugs, opioid analgesics, tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists, cholecystokinin receptor antagonists, adenosine, lipoic acid, cannabinoids, isosorbide dinitrate, dronabinol, capsaicin, protein kinase C inhibitors, aldose reductase inhibitors, and VR-1 receptor modulators. Many of these compounds are limited by marginal efficacy and clinically significant adverse events; few have been evaluated in well-controlled, large-scale clinical trials. At present, the only agents approved for the treatment of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia are lidocaine patches 5%, duloxetine, gabapentin, and pregabalin. Of these, only pregabalin is indicated for both conditions.
