Combination of Rivaroxaban and Amiodarone Increases Bleeding in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: The combination of rivaroxaban and amiodarone increased the risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation, especially clinically relevant nonmajor and minor bleeding. Physicians prescribing rivaroxaban and amiodarone together should be concerned about an increase in the risk of nonmajor bleeding.PMID:37960871 | DOI:10.1177/10600280231211306 (Source: The Annals of Pharmacotherapy)

Effectiveness of Patiromer Versus Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate for the Management of Acute Hyperkalemia
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study represents the first head-to-head comparison of patiromer and SZC in the setting of acute hyperkalemia. No difference in effectiveness between patiromer and SZC in reducing serum potassium was seen. Both agents can be considered in acute hyperkalemia management.PMID:37953506 | DOI:10.1177/10600280231209968 (Source: The Annals of Pharmacotherapy)
