A1C monitoring during oral or insulin diabetes management - Because Hb A1c reflects mean glycemia over the preceding 2 to 3 months, it should be measured at least twice a year if patients are meeting treatment goals or have stable glycemic control; it should be measured every 3 months if therapy has changed or if patients are not meeting treatment goals A1C Treatment Goal - Less than 7% ACEIS and ARBS benefits in other conditions - CAD, Post MI, heart failure. Clinical pearl: If you hear an abdominal bruit in a patient known to have vascular disease, give captopril, a short-acting ACEI, and measure serum creatinine prior to the dose and within 1 or 2 days after the dose. A rapid rise in the creatinine level suggests renal artery stenosis. A slower rise probably indicates a problem with poor hydration that can be corrected by rehydrating the patient and discontinuing or lowering the dose of any diuretics the patient is taking. Adverse effects associated with long-term use of bisphonates - Etidronate has also been associated with fractures in patients with Paget's disease when they are given high doses or when therapy lasted longer than 6 months. These patients must be carefully monitored with x-rays and laboratory work to assess for these lesions. The development of a rare form of subtrochanteric femur fracture in non-Paget's patients using bisphosphonates is under close scrutiny and has contributed to movement away from osteopenia prevention care to only osteoporosis therapy (FDA, 2010a). Allopurinol adverse effects - poor urate clearance with renal impairment, hepatotoxicity, weight loss, pruritis, rash--> more severe, fever, chills, arthralgia, cholestatic jaundice, eosinophilia, leukocytosis, leukopenia. Allopurinol drug interactions - ACEI - hypersensitivity. Aluminum salts - decreased effects. Ampicillin - rate of amp rash higher. Anticoagulants- enhanced anticoag (use Warfarin) Cyclophosphamide - increased risk for bleeding. Theophylline - toxicity risk. Thiazide diuretics - increased incidence of hypersensitivity reactions. Thiopurines - clinically significant increases in pharm and toxic effect of thio. Uricosuric agents - increase excretion of oxypurinol. Allopurinol monitoring - Check liver and renal function
