Medications to Review
 Entresto®: Sacubitiril/valsartan
 Praxbind®: Idarucizumab
 Ibrance®: Palbociclib
 Bridion®: Sugammadex
 Avycaz®: Ceftazidime/Avibactam
 Corlanor®: Ivabradine
Sacubitiril/Valsartan
Indications
 Heart failure
 Reduces blood pressure
Mechanism of Action
 Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor
(ARNI)
 Sacubitril: Prodrug that inhibits neprilysin
leading to increased levels of natriuretic
peptides
 Valsartan: Direct antagonism of
angiotensin II receptors inducing
vasoconstriction through aldosterone,
catecholamine, arginine vasopressin
release
Medication Properties
 Sacubitril is a prodrug converted to its active metabolite by esterases in the blood
 Use of an ACE inhibitor with sacubitril is contraindicated; allow a 36 hour washout period
when switching from or to an ACE inhibitor
Medication Dosing
 Patients previously taking >10 mg/day of enalapril or >160 mg/day of valsartan (or
equivalent dose of another ACE inhibitor or ARB):
 Sacubitril 49 mg and valsartan 51 mg twice daily
 Patients previously taking low doses of an ACE inhibitor (≤10 mg/day of enalapril or ≤160
mg/day of valsartan (or equivalent dose of another ACE inhibitor or ARB):
 Sacubitril 24 mg and valsartan 26 mg twice daily
 Patients not currently taking an ACE inhibitor or an ARB:
 Sacubitril 24 mg and valsartan 26 mg twice daily
 Double the dose as tolerated after 2 to 4 weeks to the target maintenance dose of sacubitril 97 mg
and valsartan 103 mg twice daily
Storage, Preparation, and Administration

Review
Palbociclib
Indications
 Estrogen receptor (ER) positive, human epidermal growth factor (HER@) negative
advanced breast cancer in combination with letrozole in post-menopausal women as
initial endocrine based therapy in metastatic disease
Mechanism of Action
Palbociclib
 Inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6
 CDK 4 and 6 are downstream signaling pathways
that lead to cell multiplication. Inhibiting this
pathways prevents cells from moving for G1 into S
phase of the cell cycle
Medication Properties
 Must be administered with high-fat, high calorie meal
because absorption increases drastically
 Medication is metabolized by the liver, leading to
many drug-drug interactions
 Medication must be handled like a hazardous
substance
Medication Dosing
 125 mg once daily with food for 21 days, then 7
days off
 Given in combination with letrozole 2.5 mg once daily
 In combination with Cyp3A4 inhibitors (azole
antifungals, verapamil, etc.) dose should be
reduced to 75 mg once daily
Storage, Preparation, and Administration
 Must be administered with a high-fat meal at
approximately the same time each day
 Capsules must be swallowed whole, cannot be
opened
Precautions
Side Effects
• Fatigue
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Alopecia
• Nausea/vomiting (low)
• Neutropenia
• Infection
Warnings
• Neutropenia median
onset of 15 days and
duration of 7 days
• Pulmonary embolism
was observed in trials
Clinical Trials
 Paloma-1/Trio-18
 Paloma3
Review
Sugammadex
Indications
 Reversal of neuromuscular blockade from
rocuronium or vecuronium
 Immediate reversal of neuromuscular blockade
at 3 minutes after administration of rocuronium
(intubation)
Mechanism of Action
 Selectively binds free molecules of
nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking
agents rocuronium or vecuronium
Bridion Mechanism of Action
 Does not affect neuromuscular blocker
already bound to receptors
Rocuronium or
vecuronium
 Though nondepolarizing neuromuscular
blockers, pancuronium, ciastracurium and
mivacurium fit poorly or not at all in the
complex
Bridion
Inactive complex
Medication Properties
 Onset of effect is less than 3 minutes
 Half-life is increased with renal impairment
 Medication is excreted in the urine unchanged
Medication Dosing
 Routine reversal of rocuronium or vecuronium-induced blockade
 Deep block: 4 mg/kg as a single dose
 Moderate block: 2 mg/kg as a single dose
 Immediate reversal of rocuronium-induced blockade (intubation)
 16 mg/kg as a single dose administered soon (~3 minutes) after administration of a single dose of
1.2 mg/kg of rocuronium
 This dose has not been evaluated following administration of vecuronium
Storage, Preparation, and Administration
