Pharmacomagnetography involves the simultaneous assessment of solid dosage forms (SDFs) in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the drug plasmatic concentration, using a biomagnetic technique and pharmacokinetics analysis. This multi-instrumental approach helps the evaluation, as GI variables can interfere with the drug delivery processes. This study aimed to employ pharmacomagnetography to evaluate the influence of omeprazole on the drug release and absorption of metronidazole administered orally in magnetic-coated tablets. Magnetic-coated tablets, coated with Eudragit E-100 (E100) and containing 100 mg of metronidazole, were produced. For the in vivo experiments, 12 volunteers participated in the two phases of the study (placebo and omeprazole) on different days to assess the bioavailability of metronidazole. The results indicated a shift as the pH of the solution increased and a delay in the dissolution of metronidazole, showing that the pH increase interferes with the release processes of tablets coated with E100. Our study reinforced the advantages of pharmacomagnetography as a tool to perform a multi-instrumental correlation analysis of the disintegration process and the bioavailability of drugs.

The absorption and bioavailability of most tyrosine kinase inhibitors are affected by gastrointestinal pH as they are weak basic lipophilic drugs. Hence, concomitant use of acid reducing agents (ARAs) is frequently restricted. Particularly comedication of crystalline dasatinib (Sprycel) and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) should be avoided.

Background: Posaconazole is widely recommended for preventing and treating invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in immunocompromised patients, especially those with prolonged neutropenia. However, the concentration of the oral suspension formulation can be affected by factors such as co-administration with acid-suppressing medications, influencing its efficacy and safety.
Aim: This study examined the impact of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and other factors on posaconazole concentrations and the concentration-to-dose ratio (C/D) while also evaluating adverse drug reactions in patients with hematologic malignancies.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) represent a commonly prescribed class of medications. Triggered by findings indicating a correlation between PPI usage and susceptibility to infectious or autoimmune diseases, we studied the impact of a pharmacological concentration of omeprazole on human CD4+ T-cells.
Methods: In mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLRs), we analyzed the proliferation index and measured the concentration of key cytokines representative of distinct CD4+ T-cell subsets.
