While medicine shortages are complex, their mitigation is more of a challenge. Prospective risk assessment as means to mitigate possible shortages, has yet be applied equally across healthcare settings. The aims this study have been to: 1) gain insight into risk-prevention against among experts; 2) review existing strategies for minimizing patient-health risks through assessment; and 3) learn from experiences related application in practice.A semi-structured questionnaire focusing on was...
Introduction: The public health threat of substandard and falsified medicines has been well known in the last two decades, several studies focusing on identification products affected preventing consumption have published. However, number these reaching patients causing consequences adverse drug reactions is not a well-researched area.

Luteolin, naringenin, myricetin, and ampelopsin are abundant flavonoids in nature, several dietary supplements also contain them at very high doses. After the peroral intake, go through extensive presystemic biotransformation; therefore, typically their sulfate/glucuronic acid conjugates reach concentrations circulation. Xanthine oxidase (XO) enzyme is involved uric production, it takes part elimination of certain drugs (e.g., 6-mercaptopurine). The inhibitory effects flavonoid aglycones on...
Today, the increasing number of illicit internet pharmacies is a global phenomenon, however, size online pharmaceutical market still relatively unknown and dubious quality products questionable warrants investigation.

Mycotoxins are frequent toxic contaminants in foods and beverages, causing a significant health threat. Interactions of mycotoxins with biotransformation enzymes (e.g., cytochrome P450 enzymes, sulfotransferases, uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases) may be important due to their possible detoxification or activation during enzymatic processes. Furthermore, mycotoxin-induced enzyme inhibition affect the other molecules. A recent study described strong inhibitory effects alternariol...
