Adverse Drug Reactions Journal 2024;26(2):123-125
A 66-year-old male patient who underwent lung transplantation took a combination therapy with tacrolimus, mycophenolate sodium, and prednisone for a long time to resist rejection.Due to the occurrence of novel coronavirus and pulmonary fungal infection,the patient was given antiviral therapy with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Pavlovid), followed by antifungal therapy with voriconazole 2 days later. Before voriconazole treatment, the patient′s alanine aminotransferase was 34 U/L, and aspartate aminotransferase was 28 U/L. On the 4th day of the combination of voriconazole and Paxlovid, the patient′s blood trough concentration of voriconazole was 16.06 mg/L, alanine aminotransferase was 176 U/L, and aspartate amino- transferase was 166 U/L. Voriconazole was discontinued immediately and 2 days later,Paxlovid was discontinued. Five days after discontinuation of voriconazole, the patient′s liver function returned to normal; 9 days later, blood trough concentration of voriconazole was 5.84 mg/L. It was considered that the patient′s liver injury was caused by the combination of voriconazole and Paxlovid.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the dose adjustment of tacrolimus in patients who underwent lung transplantation after combined use of voriconazole. METHODS The clinical data of lung transplantation patients who used voriconazole and tacrolimus in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected retrospectively. The effects of voriconazole on the valley concentration, daily dose and standardized blood concentration of tacrolimus were analyzed by using SPSS 21.0 software; multiple linear regression analysis was conducted for the factors that may affect the standardized blood concentration of tacrolimus. RESULTS A total of 153 lung transplantation patients were included. After the combination of voriconazole, the average daily dose of tacrolimus decreased from 3.37 mg to 0.76 mg, and valley concentration and standardized blood concentration were increased significantly (P<0.000 1). The average daily dose of voriconazole was negatively correlated with the standardized blood drug concentration of tacrolimus (P=0.000 1,r=-0.224). The valley concentration of voriconazole was positively correlated with valley concentration (P<0.000 1,r=0.316) and standardized blood concentration (P<0.000 1,r= 0.249) of tacrolimus. After combination with voriconazole, the standardized blood drug concentration of patients who underwent single lung transplantation was significantly higher than those who underwent double lung transplantation, and the standardized blood concentration of tacrolimus after oral administration of voriconazole was significantly higher than after intravenous drip of voriconazole (P<0.05). Most liver and kidney function indicators showed no significant changes. The results of multiple factor regression analysis showed that the valley concentration of voriconazole had a significant impact on the standardized blood concentration of tacrolimus (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The valley concentration of voriconazole has greatest influence on the blood concentration and dose adjustment of tacrolimus, which is an independent influencing factor. In clinical practice, the dose of tacrolimus should be reduced in combination with voriconazole, and therapeutic drug monitoring should be conducted for both drugs.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the hierarchical management of polypharmacy in elderly patients in China. METHODS The formulation and development process of drug hierarchical management system FORTA (fit for the aged) for elderly patients was introduced. The treatment drugs for common cardiovascular system diseases and neuropsychiatric diseases in elderly patients were taken as examples, the disease types, drug types and drug hierarchy in Germany-FORTA, the U.S.-FORTA and Japan-FORTA were compared. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS FORTA system was the first drug hierarchical system that combined positive and negative labels, formed through two rounds of Delphi method and covered a variety of diseases and drug items. The cardiovascular system diseases covered by the FORTA list mainly included acute coronary syndrome, chronic therapy following myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, stroke, etc. For acute coronary syndrome, chronic therapy following myocardial infarction and stroke, the related drugs were mostly class A, and the differences between those FORTA lists were minimal. The hierarchy of drugs used to treat other diseases was various. The neuropsychiatric diseases covered by the FORTA list included dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, insomnia/sleep disorder, depression and bipolar disorder, etc., and the drug’s hierarchy was mostly labelled with negative, mostly class C and class D, and only levodopa to treat Parkinson’s disease was class A. The hierarchy of antiepileptic drugs and drugs for the treatment of bipolar disorder (except lithium) was relatively uniform in three FORTA lists, while the hierarchy of other drugs was different. Compared with the FORTA system in the U.S. and Japan, the Germany-FORTA system updated the drug types and clinical evidence, optimized the hierarchy of diseases and drugs, and may be stricter in some drug hierarchies. The drugs with uniform hierarchy in those FORTA lists may have a wide application range,and our country can combine the above content with clinical practice to formulate a drug hierarchical management system for elderly patients to optimize the drug selection of elderly patients and improve their clinical outcomes.
