This paper reviews the pharmacokinetic-driven drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) involving antibiotics in ICU adult patients. Although there is a lack of specific ICU studies, several important pharmacokinetic pDDIs related to antibiotics have been identified, particularly with older antibiotics. It seems that novel molecules have a lower potential for drug interactions.
Patients in intensive care units (ICU) are at high risk to experience potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) because of the complexity of their drug regimens. Such pDDIs may be driven by pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic mechanisms with clinically relevant consequences in terms of treatment failure or development of drug-related adverse events. The aim of this paper is to review the pharmacokinetic-driven pDDIs involving antibiotics in ICU adult patients. A MEDLINE Pubmed search for articles published from January 2000 to June 2022 was completed matching the terms drug-drug interactions with pharmacokinetics, antibiotics, and ICU or critically-ill patients. Moreover, additional studies were identified from the reference list of retrieved articles. Some important pharmacokinetic pDDIs involving antibiotics as victims or perpetrators have been identified, although not specifically in the ICU settings. Remarkably, most of them relate to the older antibiotics whereas novel molecules seem to be associated with a low potential for pDDIs with the exceptions of oritavancin as potential perpetrator, and eravacicline that may be a victim of strong CYP3A inducers. Personalized therapeutic drug regimens by means of available web-based pDDI checkers, eventually combined with therapeutic drug monitoring, when available, have the potential to improve the response of ICU patients to antibiotic therapies.
