Preguntas frecuentes
- Como se calcula ajuste de dosis en impairment renal?
- Para peptidos renally-cleared: reducir dosis proporcionalmente a eGFR. Ejemplo: si eGFR es 50% de normal, reducir dosis 50% o extender intervalo 2x. Usar datos especificos del peptido si disponibles. Seguimiento clinico y niveles plasmaticos guian ajustes finos.
- Que es Child-Pugh classification?
- Sistema de clasificacion de severidad de enfermedad hepatica crónica basado en bilirrubina, albumina, INR, ascitis y encefalopatía. Clasifica en A (leve), B (moderada), C (severa). Guia ajuste de dosis para farmacos hepatically metabolized. Cada farmaco puede requerir approach especifico.
- Como se determina la category de embarazo?
- Sistema FDA nuevo usa narrative format. Basado en: datos de embarazos humanos expuestos, estudios animales, mecanismo de accion. Categories: not applicable, risk not ruled out, low risk, or contraindicated. Mayoria de peptidos nuevos tienen riesgo no descartado por datos limitados.
- Por que pediatric dosing no es simplemente scaled de adultos?
- Ninos tienen diferencias fisiologicas: body composition diferente, organos en desarrollo, enzimas con actividad variable, clearance cambiante con edad. Simplemente escalar por peso ignora estos factores. PK studies en cada grupo etario son necesarios para dosificacion correcta.
