Abstract
En 中文
Posaconazole delayed-release (DR) tablets are labelled as ‘do not crush’ medications. Despite this designation, emerging research demonstrates successful attainment of therapeutic serum concentrations, suggesting that they may be pharmacokinetically superior to the immediate-release (IR) suspension when given via enteric feeding tube (EFT). While crushed posaconazole DR tablets may be better suited than the IR suspension to attain therapeutic serum concentrations, several practical factors must be considered, including lack of dose equivalency between crushed DR tablets for EFT administration and DR tablets swallowed whole and the risk of EFT occlusion. This article summarizes the current evidence on posaconazole serum concentrations with crushed DR tablets administered via EFT, explores risks of this practice and provides mitigation strategies for application in the clinical setting, including proposed dosing and administration practices.
