Rare diseases affect fewer than 1 in 2000 people. Each one affects only a small number of patients. Yet, there are over 7000 rare diseases. And, there are no treatments for 95 percent of them. Thus, many patients suffer from these diseases. The treatments for rare diseases are often referred to as “orphan drugs.” Orphan … Continued
Tramadol is frequently used in geriatric patients; however, pharmacokinetic (PK) publications on tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol (ODM) in elderly patients are rare. Our objective was to characterize the PK of tramadol and ODM, including absorption processes and covariates for tramadol, in elderly and young subjects after single-dose administration of 200-mg extended-release tablets. We conducted a PK … Continued
