“…Of the many classes of antiretrovirals, the majority of the interactions are seen with the non-nucleotide reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs) [56][57][58], as both are metabolized by multiple CYP450 enzymes. The NNRTI, nevirapine is a substrate and a selective inducer of CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 [59,60]. Four case reports have documented an induction interaction in which the patient required an increased dose of warfarin to maintain a therapeutic INR [57,59].…”

“…Etravirine is a second generation NNRTI, a potent inhibitor of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, and is both an inhibitor and inducer of CYP3A4 [60]. Nine cases have been reported involving drug interactions with PIs and warfarin due to the high affinity of PIs for CYP3A4 [59,[61][62][63][64][65][66]. Of the documented case reports, ritonavir is cited most often as a potent inhibitor of this CYP isoform.…”

Clinicians and patients around the world have been intrigued by the concept of developing an oral anticoagulant with a broad therapeutic window and few drug and dietary interactions that can be administered at fixed doses with no or minimal monitoring. The recently approved oral direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran, along with the emerging oral anti-factor Xa inhibitors, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban, have been developed to address many of the shortcomings of warfarin therapy. As warfarin is associated with extensive food and drug interactions, there is also a need to consider such interactions with the new oral anticoagulants. While to date few drug and dietary interactions have been reported with the new oral anticoagulants, it is still early in their development and clinical use cycle. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles will have to be closely accounted for when determining the likelihood of a potential drug interaction prior to therapy initiation. As the list of drugs and supplements that interact with warfarin is continuously expanding, and the knowledge on drug interactions with the novel oral anticoagulants is still in its infancy, clinicians need to be vigilant when initiating any of these agents or when any changes in the patient's medication profile occur and perform a close screening for potential drug and dietary interactions. The objective of this paper is to give an update on drug and dietary interactions with warfarin and the novel oral anticoagulants, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban.

“…Women who display greater orgasmic consistency from penile -vaginal intercourse show greater concordance of genital (vaginal pulse amplitude) and subjective sexual arousal than women who do not orgasm from penile -vaginal intercourse (regardless of their orgasmic consistency during other sexual activities, alone or with a partner). 2,3 Foster et al 1 also noted that in their own clinical series, PDE5i response appeared to be more common in women with 'stable and/or happy relationships' ( p. 156). Non-response appeared to be more common in the 'presence of psychological co-morbidities' ( p. 156).…”
