While drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and their pharmacokinetic (PK) mechanisms are well-studied prior to drug approval, severe adverse drug reactions (SADRs) caused by DDIs often remain underrecognized due to limitations in pre-marketing clinical trials. To address this gap, our study utilized a literature database, applied natural language processing (NLP) techniques, and conducted multi-source electronic health record (EHR) validation to uncover underrecognized DDI-SADR signals that warrant further investigation. PubMed abstracts related to DDIs from January 1962 to December 2023 were retrieved.

The use of simvastatin 40 mg with various interacting medicines may lead to an increased risk of myopathy. We examined the extent to which hospital inpatients were prescribed simvastatin 40 mg with amiodarone, amlodipine, diltiazem, or verapamil, and assessed if any action was taken by prescribers or the pharmacy team to avoid this interaction. We found 56 patients on a combination of interest during their stay.

Acute liver injury is characterized by the rapid onset of inflammation in the liver, which in turn plays a role in the development of hypertension. Additionally, hypertension increases susceptibility to liver diseases associated with inflammatory states. Recently, the antihypertensive drug diltiazem has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to inhibit the expression of the thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), an upstream regulator of the NOD-like receptor pyrin-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway.
