What Is Known And Objective: To report five cases with a probable interaction between acenocoumarol and levofloxacin.
Case Description: In five patients on long-term acenocoumarol treatment who had had stable international normalized ratios for at least 6 months, sudden erratic changes in the values of these ratios were observed after 1.5-8 days of concomitant levofloxacin treatment with no other apparent cause.
Objectives: To evaluate antiretroviral treatment adherence in the HIV patient cohort of our hospital and observe their evolution over a 9-year period; also to determine the individual pattern of adherence over time.
Methods: Descriptive study of the evolution of average annual adherence and the annual percentage of adherent patients greater than 95% from 2000 to 2008. We analysed the individual pattern of adherence over time and patients were classified into consistently adherent, consistently non-adherent, and fluctuating.
Purpose: A literature evaluation of antidopaminergic therapies in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have developed psychosis, nausea, vomiting, and hiccups was conducted.
Summary: Complications associated with the use of antiparkinsonian drugs make PD management more difficult given the need for antidopaminergic therapy, which worsens motor functioning in patients with PD. For psychosis, clozapine is the only atypical antipsychotic that has proven effective without worsening motor function in PD patients.
