In the elderly, hepatic drug clearance of some drugs can be reduced and CYP-mediated phase I reactions are more likely to be impaired than phase II metabolism, which is relatively preserved in the elderly.

It is shown that piperine inhibits both the drug transporter P-glycoprotein and the major drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4.
Proton pump inhibitors: an update of their clinical use and pharmacokinetics
This update of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and clinical data will provide the necessary guide by which to select between the various PPIs that differ—based on pharmacodynamic assessments—in their relative potencies.

Evidence is provided that proton pump inhibitors are substrates and inhibitors of P-glycoprotein, which might explain some of the drug interactions with proton Pump Inhibitors observed in vivo.

- 1 January 2009
This article reviews the published work with particular emphasis on pharmacogenetic alterations that may affect efficacy, tolerability, and safety of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), including variation in genes encoding drug target, drug transport, drug metabolizing, and human leucocyte antigen (HLA) proteins.
Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Use of Infliximab
Following single and multiple infusions of infliximab, no relevant differences in median concentration-time profiles have been observed between patients with Crohn’s disease, patients with rheumatoid arthritis and patients with psoriasis.
The clinical implications of ageing for rational drug therapy
Present knowledge of age-related problems in drug action and their clinical implications for an increasingly important population of elderly patients are summarized.
Age-related changes in pharmacokinetics.
The complexity of interactions between comorbidity, polypharmacy, and age-related changes in pharmacokinetics (and pharmacodynamics) justify the old and well-known dosing aphorism " start low, go slow" for aged individuals.
CYP2C19 polymorphism and proton pump inhibitors.

Limited data suggest that proton pump inhibitors-induced healing rates in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease are apparently higher in poor metabolizers/het extensive metabolizers than in extensive metabolites of CYP2C19, and initial genotyping for this enzyme and higher dosage in extensive metabolizer is likely to improve the clinical efficacy of proton pumps.
Drug Interactions with Herbal Medicines
The present article summarizes herbal medicine-drug interactions involving mainly inhibition or induction of cytochrome P450 enzymes and/or drug transporters and describes the clinical implications of these interactions.
