Overview

[Therapy] is recommended among all patients who develop [disease name].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].

OR

Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].

OR

Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].

Medical Therapy

  • Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients which don't improve on dietary measures.[1]
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency
    • Mild
        • Parenteral regimen
          • Preferred regimen (1): Cyanocobalamin 1000 μg IM q24h for 7 days, then q weekly for 4-8 weeks [1]
        • Oral regimen
      • Severe
        • Parenteral regimen
          • Preferred regimen (1):Cyanocobalamin 1000 μg IM q24h for 7 days, then q weekly for 4-8 weeks [1]
        • Oral regimen
      • Pernicious anemia
        • Parenteral regimen
          • Preferred regimen (1):Cyanocobalamin 1000 μg IM q24h for 7 days, then q weekly for 4-8 weeks [1]
          • Alternative regimen (1): Cyanocobalamin 100-1000 μg IM q24h for 1-2 weeks and then 1-3 months[2]
        • Oral regimen
    • Parenteral regimen
      • Preferred regimen (1): drug name 50–75 mg/kg IV q24h for 14 (14–21) days (maximum, 2 g)
      • Alternative regimen (1): drug name 150–200 mg/kg/day IV q6–8h for 14 (14–21) days (maximum, 6 g per day)
      • Alternative regimen (2):  drug name 200,000–400,000 U/kg/day IV q4h for 14 (14–21) days (maximum, 18–24 million U per day)
    • Oral regimen
      • Preferred regimen (1): drug name 50 mg/kg/day PO q8h for 14 (14–21) days (maximum, 500 mg per dose)
  • Folate is administered 1mg QD. Higher doses may be required in malabsorptive syndromes. It is empirically given to those with SCD and those on HD.
  • B12 must be given as a load then maintenance. Most advocate 1000 mcg IM Qweek x4 then 100mcg/month.
  • [LDH]] falls in 2 days. Hypokalemia requiring replacement can occur in the acute phase as new cells are being generated rapidly.
  • A reticulocytosis begins in 3-5 days and peaks in 10 days. The HCT will rise within 10days. If it does not, suspect another disorder. Hypersegmented PMNs disappear in 10-14 days.
  • Neurologic abnormalities may take up to 6 months to resolve if ever. The longer the disease has been present, the worse is the prognosis for recovery.
  • Persons with PA have a 2x risk of gastric CA (in some studies). Screen for occult blood.
Contraindicated medications

Macrocytic Anemia is considered an absolute contraindication to the use of the following medications:
