Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most important components of the Cannabis sativa plant with delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD is used both for medical and recreational purposes. It can be of pharmaceutical grade (Epidyolex®), and also self-service purchased in pharmacy, CBD shops and on the internet (non-pharmaceutical). CBD is almost as widespread as it is poorly understood from a pharmacological point of view and particularly in terms of drug interactions. Drug-drug interactions could lead to clinical complications, and we here gather data currently available on pharmacokinetics (PK) drug-drug interactions with CBD through a narrative review. This review shows that several PK drug-drug interactions exist with different class of medications and aims to help clinicians to better know about CBD for their practice as this product is increasingly used.

Purpose: To evaluate the drug-drug interactions (DDI) of tunodafil (youkenafil), a novel phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, its inhibitory effects on CYP450 enzymes in vitro and its clinical trials in combination with ritonavir or omeprazole were conducted.
Methods: The inhibitory effect of tunodafil on seven major CYP450 enzymes in human liver microsomes was investigated by probe substrate method. The effect of tunodafil on the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate) in 40 healthy subjects, who received a single dose of 40 mg omeprazole in combination with tunodafil on the day 8 after taking 100 mg tunodafil daily for 7 days, was assessed based on CYP2C19 genotypes.

Objective: Our aim was to analyze pharmaceutical interventions related to heart failure (HF) outpatient treatment.
Methods: An observationnal study was carried out over 6 months at the Abidjan Institute of Cardiology (ICA). Data were collected using a survey form that focused on, therapeutic adherence, drugs related-problems (DRP) and pharmaceutical interventions (PI).

Background: The broad use of bedaquiline and pretomanid as the mainstay of new regimens to combat tuberculosis is a risk due to increasing bedaquiline resistance. We aimed to assess the safety, bactericidal activity, and pharmacokinetics of BTZ-043, a first-in-class DprE1 inhibitor with strong bactericidal activity in murine models.
Methods: This open-label, dose-expansion, randomised, controlled, phase 1b/2a trial was conducted in two specialised tuberculosis sites in Cape Town, South Africa.
Introduction: In France, over 90% of people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) achieve virological suppression with effective combination of antiretroviral therapies (ART), but limited data exist on the motivation for switching ART.
Objective: To describe the reasons and determinants for switching ART, with a particular focus on doravirine-based regimens, in routine clinical practice in France.
Design: This analysis of cross-sectional baseline data is part of the DoraVIH study, a French, multicenter (15 sites), two-step observational cohort study that includes prospective follow-up for a subset of participants.

Background: Multiple outpatient therapies have been developed for COVID-19 in high-risk individuals, but solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients were not well represented in controlled clinical trials. To date, few comparative studies have evaluated outcomes between outpatient therapies in this population.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using de-identified administrative claims data from OptumLabs Data Warehouse.
