Abstract
Background: This report presents the case of a patient with drug-resistant epilepsy. Despite treatment with 4 antiepileptic drugs, the patient experienced an increasing frequency of focal seizures, necessitating hospitalization, and continuous intravenous midazolam infusion.
Methods: Cobicistat was introduced as a pharmacokinetic booster to decrease the metabolic clearance of midazolam, leading to increased exposure and an extended half-life.
Results: Cobicistat boosting allowed the switch from intravenous to oral midazolam, and the patient was discharged on an oral midazolam regimen.
Conclusions: Cobicistat can be effectively used to boost midazolam exposure pharmacokinetically in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who require stable midazolam blood concentrations.
期刊介绍：
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal directed to an audience of pharmacologists, clinical chemists, laboratorians, pharmacists, drug researchers and toxicologists. It fosters the exchange of knowledge among the various disciplines–clinical pharmacology, pathology, toxicology, analytical chemistry–that share a common interest in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. The journal presents studies detailing the various factors that affect the rate and extent drugs are absorbed, metabolized, and excreted. Regular features include review articles on specific classes of drugs, original articles, case reports, technical notes, and continuing education articles.
