Drug development perspective on pharmacokinetic studies of new drugs in patients with renal impairment.

21 Sep 2009 Severe renal impairment can, through diverse mechanisms, alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) of drugs that are renally eliminated and even of some drugs that are nonrenally eliminated. Consequently, dose adjustment for new molecular entities in patients ... Read more...

Retrospective population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis of pyridostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, in Chinese males.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: We have characterised the population pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics of pyridostigmine given as pyridostigmine bromide. METHODS: Over three days 50 healthy Chinese male subjects each received seven doses of 30 mg pyridostigmine bromide ... Read more...

Ketoconazole and prednisone to prevent recurrent ischemic priapism.

13 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To our knowledge no standard therapy exists for the prevention of recurrent ischemic priapism. We used ketoconazole and prednisone with dosing titrated according to serum testosterone levels to suppress sleep related erections in an attempt ... Read more...
