Therapeutic drug monitoring to optimize drug therapy typically relies on the inconvenience of repeated plasma sampling. Sweat is a potential alternative biofluid convenient for sampling. However, limited information exists regarding the range of drugs excreted in sweat and their correlation with plasma concentrations.

Methadone and buprenorphine have pharmacologic properties that are concerning for a high risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). We performed high-throughput screening for clinically relevant DDIs with methadone or buprenorphine by combining pharmacoepidemiologic and pharmacokinetic approaches. We conducted pharmacoepidemiologic screening via a series of self-controlled case series studies (SCCS) in Optum claims data from 2000 to 2019.

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that skeletal muscle relaxants could inhibit the in vitro metabolism of common comedications opioids buprenorphine, methadone and oxycodone. The compounds [solubility-limited concentration (μM) studied] were as follows: baclofen (1000), carisoprodol (200), its metabolite meprobamate (1000), chlorzoxazone (200), cyclobenzaprine (1000), metaxalone (50), methocarbamol (1000), orphenadrine (1000) and tizanidine (1000). Compounds were first incubated with human liver microsomes ± pre-incubation, screened with pathway-specific cDNA-expressed cytochrome P450s (rCYP), and then IC values determined using either 8-concentration tests for those where the rCYP screen suggested an IC was achievable, or a 3-concentration test with downward extrapolation if screen suggested 50% inhibition was not achievable.

Methocarbamol (MCBL) is commonly used in performance horses for the treatment of skeletal muscle disorders. Current regulatory recommendations for show horses and racehorses are based on a single oral dose of 5 g, although doses in excess of this are often administered. The goal of the current study was to characterize the disposition of MCBL following higher dose administration and administration in combination with another commonly used drug in performance horses, phenylbutazone (PBZ).

Background: A combination of methocarbamol (MET) and paracetamol (PAR) is a widely used treatment approach. It provides complementary modes of action for treatment of pain associated with muscle spasm. The aim of this work was to develop and validate a new sensitive and reproducible isocratic reversed phase HPLC-UV detection method for simultaneous determination of MET and PAR in human plasma for the routine use in a therapeutic drug monitoring and pharmacokinetic laboratories.
