Available evidence suggests that levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (Mirena) may help reduce endometriosis-related pain, improve quality of life, and lower recurrence rates, with effectiveness comparable to other hormonal options. It is generally well tolerated for long-term use, with common side effects including irregular bleeding, ovarian cysts, bloating, and skin changes, while avoiding the systemic hypoestrogenic effects seen with some alternatives. Overall, Mirena offers a fav...

Based on a 2021 Cochrane meta-analysis of four randomised controlled trials involving 157 women, the evidence supporting post-operative levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUD) use for endometriosis is of very low to low certainty, primarily due to risk of bias and imprecision. Compared to expectant management, two studies suggested LNG-IUD may improve dysmenorrhoea at 12 months (RCT 1: median VAS 81 vs. 50, p= 0.006; RCT 2: VAS fall by 50 vs. 30, p= 0.021), but a meta-analysis was not possible. One study reported a significant improvement in quality of life with LNG-IUD (mean change to 70.3 vs. 57.0, p= 0.014), and another found higher patient satisfaction (RR 1.5; 95% CI 0.90 to 2.49). However, LNG-IUD was also associated with significantly higher rates of adverse events, specifically melasma (p=0.015) and bloating (p=0.021). In a single comparison with GnRH-a, the analysis found no conclusive evidence that LNG-IUD was superior for chronic pelvic pain at 12 months (M...

Although guidelines consistently highlight glucagon as an essential rescue therapy for severe hypoglycemia, available recommendations focus on single or limited parenteral or intranasal doses rather than continuous infusion. Evidence assessing glucagon infusion for hypoglycemia management is sparse and primarily derived from small observational reports in neonates and infants with refractory hypoglycemia, where results suggest potential benefit (see Tables 1-2). However, the relevance of thes...

The 2025 Standard of Diabetes Care outlines comprehensive components for diabetes management, including general treatment goals, guidelines, and quality evaluation tools. Glucagon prescriptions are given consideration for individuals hospitalized due to severe hypoglycemia, those with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia, or patients at high risk for future hypoglycemic events (e.g., end-stage kidney disease, intensive insulin management, frailty), specifically for managing any future severe episodes. Chapter 6 of the Standard of Diabetes Care, which addresses glycemic goals and hypoglycemia management, explicitly recommends that glucagon be prescribed for all individuals taking insulin or at high risk for hypoglycemia, indicating its use for people unable or unwilling to orally consume carbohydrates during a hypoglycemic event. This ensures that essential rescue medication (injection, nasal spray, autoinjector) is available for at-risk patients to manage severe hypoglycemic episodes...

Author: Kevin Shin, PharmD, BCPS + InpharmD™ AI  

An overwhelming amount of published literature has described the safety and efficacy of acetaminophen in pregnancy, as well as detailed the risks of fever to the fetus and symptomatic discomfort to the mother if left untreated. The claim for acetaminophen as a causal agent of autism comes from observational studies with methodological flaws that report possible correlation, but not causation. Additionally, confounding factors, including maternal illness, genetics, and environmental influences...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently published a press announcement that they will be initiating a label change for acetaminophen and other products due to growing evidence of acetaminophen use in pregnant women potentially linking to increased risk of neurological conditions such as autism in children. However, while an association is described in many studies, a causal relationship has not been established, and there are contrary studies in the scientific literature. [1] A 2021 meta-analysis examined the association between prenatal and postnatal acetaminophen exposure and the development of autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in childhood. This comprehensive analysis leveraged data from six European population-based birth cohorts involving a total of 73,881 mother-child pairs. The study utilized maternal questionnaires and interviews to gather information on acetaminophen use during pregnancy and up to 1...

Data evaluating intravesical aminocaproic acid for intractable bladder hemorrhage appears scarce. One case series evaluating intravesical instillation of EACA reported improvements in hematuria, but noted lack of replication in recent studies. Additionally, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessing intravesical EACA for post-transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) bleeding found no significant difference in blood loss between EACA and placebo.

A 2019 Best Practice Report by the Canadian Urological Association conducted a comprehensive narrative synthesis on the diagnosis and management of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis, with a specific emphasis on treatment options, clinical outcomes, and the grading of evidence. The panel states that several intravesical options have been trialed in limited case series, but require replication, etiology-specific assessment, or comparative data before they can be formally included as recommendations. Intravesical instillation of epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) was evaluated in a case series from 1992 involving 37 patients with intractable bladder hemorrhage. The study reported improvement in hematuria in 34 of these patients, the majority of whom suffered from cystitis induced by radiation or cyclophosphamide treatment. Despite these promising results, similar studies have not been replicated in recent years to confirm the efficacy of EACA for this condition. Available review art...

Though specific to alteplase-induced angioedema, clinical guidance suggests use of pharmacological management with famotidine, antihistamines, and corticosteroids, use of which are reflected in a limited number of case studies reporting tenecteplase-induced angioedema. In the event of increased angioedema, epinephrine may be administered. Plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor has also been observed to resolve symptoms. However, other experts suggest consideration of bradykinin-reducing agents ...

The 2019 American Heart Association/American Stroke Association guideline update provides evidence-based recommendations for the early management of acute ischemic stroke, building upon and revising the 2018 guideline. While the document addresses a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic issues, it also highlights the management of orolingual angioedema, a recognized complication of intravenous alteplase, particularly in patients concurrently taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. The guideline emphasizes airway protection as the foremost priority, recommending endotracheal intubation if swelling involves the larynx, palate, or oropharynx, especially in the setting of rapid progression. For milder cases limited to the anterior tongue or lips, close observation may be appropriate. Alteplase infusion should be discontinued, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors withheld. Pharmacologic management includes intravenous methylprednisolone, diphenhydramine, and an H2 re...

I can’t tell you how much time I spend literature searching. And how I CANNOT STAND PAYWALLS. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! (covers face for sec) thank you, thank you, thank you!


     

So they’re basically connecting academic researchers with front line providers and then automating everything. It’s simply brilliant.


     

The clinical pharmacist was our secret weapon anyway. (Smiles wryly) This pharmacist AI seems superhuman. I’m just blown away, honestly. (Looks at camera somberly.)


     

It’s an ENTIRE DI DEPARTMENT, that lives in Epic. Give me a second. I’m just having a hard time wrapping my head around that.


     

Sorry just give me a second, my mind is blown.
